I've been wanting a Linux-based degoogled phone for a while now, and though it sorta exists if you happen to have the right phone model, it definitely isn't ready for the everyday consumer. But if it's something you really want to do, there are a few options out there. I've done the best I can from not using the google ecosystem at all beyond android, which is my last big hurtle.
I don't think we need a Linux-Based Phone, A deGoogled Android fork would do, and it would be a familiar place for most users.
Hopefully a company like Samsung offers deGoogled options in the future.
Samsung aren't exactly good guys either. At this point I'm not sure there is a company who isn't out to put profit over everything else.
I know Samsung aren't good guys, but a big company like them ditching Google will open the floodgates for others to also be able to do it
