Like I don’t have space in my life right now to do a whole lot of actual tinkering but google is pissing me off and I just remember in middle school just being able to change the boot order in the bios and plug in a usb stick and a few hours later having mint installed. What’s the easiest way to get a clean de-googled os on my phone?

Since it keeps coming up, I have a unihertz atom, a moto g 2022 and one of these monstrosities

Extra bonus question, if I do wind up buying a new phone in the future what brands should I look out for? (But I’d like to keep using what I have until the hardware breaks if possible).

    You can have microG and use something like Aurora store for most applications (What I’m using on my setup right now)

      Yeah but its a less secure way of using GraphineOS, the fact is the sandboxed Google play services is the most secure way to use it (what im using on my GOS setup)

        I wonder if using sandboxed google play services without actual google account login (like in my case, using aurora) is a possible option, since I didn’t really check. It’s probably worth a look on the graphene forums at least.
