My phone’s just bitten the dust and now I need to look for a new one again.

Thought I’d test the waters and see what kinds of phones people on here are using nowadays and what for, what features set them apart if any etc

Bonus points if anyone’s managed to get mainline linux running on them either via KVM or bare metal

Edit: Thanks for everyone who talked about their choices of phone, I am now writing this on a fairphone 4 and am quite happy with it so far.

        Oh boy, that is one spicy topic. You could start here.

        In short: The lead dev (who stepped down, but may be back again?) is involved in some controversy.

        While I can fully understand why somebody wouldn’t trust the OS based on that, it’s still the most secure and private OS available today IMHO.

      It might be a good substitute for some. Some features like contact and storage scopes are missing, and IMO they’re pretty cool Overall just worse privacy and security compared to Graphene
