I just got my pre-order of the Jolla Phone confirmed. I was super stoked on having a European Linux Based phone.

However Motorola announced collaboration with Graphene during this period.

I am really torn, I love Motorolas and have used them for the last five years. Also Graphene seems a bit more open source and secure ad I’ve always said I would switch the instant they launched on a non-google phone.

Does anyone here have input on this, or maybe suggestions for a certain comm where this question would find better ground? (I didn’t want to ask os specific comms as that would be unbecoming)

    Tldr: GrapheneOS for Normie apps, Jolla for FOSS exclusive phone.

    IMO take GrapheneOS, because when it comes to security, there is basically no competition. You need the security if you want to use normie proprietary apps. There is just so much cancer in that ecosystem, it is unbelievable, furthermore, you’re handing the malware an unbelievably capable sensor platform with centimetre accurate positioning systems, motion sensors which can gauge your weight, age and gender, microphones and cameras. You NEED the protection that GrapheneOS gives you.

    On the other hand, if you only want to use FOSS on your phone, then SailfishOS is also a good choice. But due to security, it is highly recommended that you stay away from normie apps.
