What type of Linux phone? I am thinking of switching too, but I've heard Graphene OS is a pain to set up and it makes you seem like a drug dealer.
why would it make you seem like a drug dealer?? no one will even know what's running on your phone lol, no one cares
Whats the point of those videos? It makes me not want to use the OS.
i assume you replied to the wrong comment?
No, I mean the videos about how the cops will think I'm a drug dealer if I use the phone.
are you.. doing alright? you're not making much sense
Do you actually want me to show you what I'm talking about or do you just want to insult me? I've got examples of what I mean, but it sounds like you just wanted to call me stupid because you don't understand something.
graphene is super easy to install and set up and literally no one thinks im a drug dealer
So all those "the police will arrest you if you have this phone!111" youtube videos are just paid hype...
It's about using the duress pin feature to wipe the device when law enforcement asks to hand over your phone.
Sure, but I saw these ads before that.
I'm not quite sure yet but I'm hoping there's something nice by the time I quit Android. Maybe something like Ubuntu Touch on a decent phone?
Yeah, Ubuntu Touch. Less likely to get compromised if you've got an uncommon phone, right? I know Ubuntu OS already.
