There's SailfishOS, which is an alternative to Android and iPhone. It's a mobile Linux OS with an optional support for Android apps.

It's not the world's most advanced mobile OS, but a good way to escape the Apple and Google ecosystems.

It is possible to purchase the OS and install it to Sony Xperia phones. https://shop.jolla.com

I guess it’s not even available for viewing in my country (the United States). Coincidentally, this must be close to what it’s like in the UK (just on a much much smaller scale) after the GDPR stuff.
