bro we both know mild crappiness isnt what im complaining about
also both your option 2 and 3 are better atm
I actually have PostmarketOS installed on an older phone. It's both really cool, and nearly unusable as a phone. It's slow. The battery lasts about four hours. The cameras sort of work... or did. I just opened it to refresh my memory of what was broken about the image quality and it says "no camera found". I hope Linux phones get better, but I can't replace my Android phone with this now or soon.
As for iOS, I have no comment on whether it's better than Android or not, nor do I particularly care. Apple's strict control over the app ecosystem is so unacceptable to me that it makes the platform a non-starter regardless of its merits. I continue to be surprised that's not a majority opinion among tech-literate people.
‘an older phone’ is doing some heavy lifting there
you got oneplus fairphone and pixel all working fine and heavily commnuity supported
limited hardware choices is always the trade off
as to apples control, given the september vendor lock change and the continued increase in locked boot loaders how is android not getting to be just as bad?
but all of that is moot

signs have been more and more obvious this year, how can anyone trust their personal data being safe
and if you are running graphine or the like it’s the same boat as the linux os options

i genuinely worry for anyone that bases their preferences on how many goobers agree with them
