I have an donated Gen 1 Pixel phone so that I can experiment trying a new OS on it. I use linux mint on my laptop but still consider myself a beginner. The goal is to eventually do this to my main phone (A galaxy S8) but I wanted to get a feel for how to do it. I’m stuck on the OS, I only use the phone as a clock, texting, and occasionally a call. Internet isn’t a huge deal but it’d be nice in a pinch. I’m looking for an OS that’s easy to use, privacy & security. Any recommends/guides?
I’m going to try LineageOS first, but do you have any thoughts about CalyxOS? I’m in my last stages of degoogling so the further away I am from Google, the better. I’d love to use GrapheneOS but I can’t afford a Pixel that’s new enough to run it.
never used it so no comment there
Lineage installed and it works beautifully.
good to hear, enjoy :)
