Ive been using google's services since 2017-2018, now its time to finally depart from that. I just got it in the mail yesterday and I'm already in love with it. So much lighter and easier to carry than my samsung galaxy. Gonna transfer everything over in a sim card, switch to Tmobile and ill be good to go. ๐Ÿ˜

Cool. Didnt realise there was an option to buy a degoogled phone until I saw your post! I wish you well with it.

Murena is not the only place to buy degoogled phones in case you didn't know.

I'm planning on getting a Motorola w graphene once it becomes available.

If it's too expensive, I'm going to get a brax phone, which is running lineage like op's new phone is.

Now you know and if you see someone else express ignorance about it, you can help them out like I wish someone had done for me.

The Teracube is running e/OS.

eos is murena's version of lineage and i suspect that most degoogled phone vendors use their own version of lineage. I know that Brax does.

You can also put lineage on a phone yourself instead of buying it that way. Ditto w graphene.

Until Graphene OS is allowed on different phones, then I'll consider. At some point they're gonna have to move to a different phone model.

My complaint with Lineage OS (that no one seems to talk about for some reason) is the requirements you gotta go through to get the exact phone in order to install them directly, hence one reason why I got the Teracube. Or some of these other OS system requirements, buying a phone for it is just not possible due to availability issues.
