I was thinking of getting a Framework and setting up Debian (with KDE Plasma), but I've always heard Framework is better designed for Fedora/Ubuntu. This gives me confidence! Do you have an Intel or AMD mainboard. I am waiting for the RISC V to come out.

I don't think so. I followed the instructions at GraphenOS using the web installer. I bought the phone refurbished with OEM unlocked.

 

Linux phones that are independent of Google/Apple and do not spy on you are still maturing and a bit hard for me to get here in the US. So, I recently de-googled my smart phone.

I will make due with it until one of the Linux smart phones finally mature enough in terms of hardware and capability that it can replace it.

My big question is, which Linux phone seems to be the most promising? Which one should I keep my eye one? And how long will it take before any Linux phone can start seriously competing with the major brands? PinePhone, Librem, Murena, etc. ?

 

I have de-googled my Pixel Pro 7 (refurbished) with GraphenOS. ๐Ÿฅณ

One question before I declare this my first victory in the police-state-data wars. Is there anything else I should disable on the hardware side to make sure Google can't spy anymore? Microphone, drivers, etc. ?

If so, what's the best way?

 

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I have RetroPi installed on. I am thinking if I should get a Raspberry Pi 5 and install RetroPi on it. Has anyone who has tried this think it is worth it?
