I want to deGoogle my phone - Alternatives to GrapeneOs and Pixel(google phones) (lemmy.world)

Im not keen on trying to deGoogle only by purchasing a Google pixel... -_-

Please provide other options with nothing to do with google or microsoft., Such as Fairphone, etc.

As you know(or may not), new CPU's from intel have remote access hardwired, regardless of the OS you are using. I suspect Google outsmarted the GrapheneOS userbase and went one step ahead.

As usual, the grapheneOS fanboys are replying. It's like asking for macs alternative and getting recommended macs with "but they are more secure and buying a used one doesn't give Apple money" comments.

LineageOS supports a bunch of phones. Some of them even support relocking the bootloader after flashing a new ROM (you'd have to look up which, I can't remember).

Then there's Murena which runs eOS.
