I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company).

Another option would be lineage OS, but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don’t work with this OS and no support.

what works for you? I want a phone with no google, that doesn’t force me to use the manufacturer’s ecosystem and that won’t show the apps I don’t want or need (on an asus I own you cannot neither get rid nor hide bloatware)

The name “lineage” is because it’s a “descendant” of cyanogenmod, not because it’s intended for older phones

Lineage OS is a base system that you can use to get the AOSP experience with modern apps. It is most certainly not for just for older phones. It also is going to be updated more frequently than anything else.

but as the name implies, it’s intended for older phones to increase their life

My thoughts exactly seeing this post. Haven’t heard that particular rhetoric here before. Typing this from my Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
