Re:Google shifting to “upstream first” Linux kernel approach... by jacob019 on Thursday September 23, 2021 @08:58AM (#28628454)
I'm happy with my degoogled phone. There are so many great open source apps on f-droid. Still, it's 2021 and I need a few closed source apps on my main driver, so Aurora Store, MicroG, AdAway. Ok so I'm still using google servers for push notifications of the closed apps--compromises. I still have way more control and battery life. I love the idea of a linux phone, and maybe I could sacrafice the last few closed apps, but what I hear from users is that the hardware sucks. I want a nice phone.

you can get something like ubports on a poco f1. the apps will probably be lacking for you though
