I’ve been an android user for a long ass time. I want to install grapheneOS on my next phone since my current Samsung S23 won’t allow that. After that, what would be my options?
Exactly the problem; current phones are good for the short-to-medium term, for anyone willing to use aging hardware, but what are the long-term prospects?
I’m hoping this will increase true open source phone OS development, like a Linux phone, but we’ll see. If there’s a way to really get Android or iOS apps onto a Linux phone (after these changes) then true open-source apps can fill most use-cases, but everyday users can still use the latest games/apps they expect to “just work”. That might be the ideal future option, at least until if/when Linux gets enough market share to get its own mainstream support (like the Steam Deck has brought to gaming).

Any of the recent Pixels, though I’m not sure about the 10. And that’s it.
I’m running Graphene on a 9 and it’s solid.
