you can always agonize about the perfect option over the course of a year after jumping ship!

hey don't hold back, i already bought another ~$110 USD samsung off newegg and put LineageOS on it haha making it for a friend

I won't nag you to switch until you have a second device handy haha that's when I did, but switched from a secondhand iOS device bought off a friend for almost nothing

that's almost a requirement for the job but thanks for adding it

So what do you use instead? Not iOS I hope LOL. LineageOS is the best option I've found. I'm not a Tech Philosopher, I want control over my device.

I did not have any problems installing LineageOS on my Galaxy at all and it solves most of the issues you listed. Helps with battery life etc. It's not just mostly degoogling.

this seems like a good situation to hear about rooting but go off

it's a really good book also the author's podcasts with radhika desai begin with a good primer on it

I'm too lazy for this just read Superimperialism
