Like I don’t have space in my life right now to do a whole lot of actual tinkering but google is pissing me off and I just remember in middle school just being able to change the boot order in the bios and plug in a usb stick and a few hours later having mint installed. What’s the easiest way to get a clean de-googled os on my phone?

Since it keeps coming up, I have a unihertz atom, a moto g 2022 and one of these monstrosities

Extra bonus question, if I do wind up buying a new phone in the future what brands should I look out for? (But I’d like to keep using what I have until the hardware breaks if possible).

    If it helps it looks like that they’re backtracking on that but I’ll believe it when I see it

      They said the same thing about ad blockers. There was a massive uproar that they were removing ad blockers and they said they’d allow them, then quietly blocked them anyway. I’ll believe that they’ll allow side loading when I see it

      First thing out of hubs mouth when I mentioned hearing about it: “That was their only advantage over apple!”
