Anyone even remotely privacy or security conscious needs to vote with their wallet in protest and stop buying Android phones, otherwise it's only a matter of time 'til Google bans side-loading and it becomes impossible to buy a phone that can run any kind of anonymous or end-to-end encrypted communication software.

I'm curious what you think the alternative is, because Apple is definitely a lot worse, and we all know they're very much a duopoly.

BTW, all the GrapheneOS, etc. are still Android phones.

GrapheneOS is a beautiful stop-gap, but there are real bona-fide Linux smartphones out there. To be clear, there are not many, the hardware often isn't great, the software often isn't great. PinePhone and Librem come to mind.

Per their spec sheet it doesn't have cellular connectivity, so it's not actually a phone.

And if what you want is a PDA that runs Linux, there are many options, e.g. https://www.clockworkpi.com/home-uconsole.
