From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

thanks graphene is a non-starter for me since i refuse to give google anything more than i (unwittingly) already have.

ig, you could just buy used though or wait for their own device to be released via the upcoming OEM partnership. I wouldn't be surprised if pixels are sold at a loss or break even point anyway, supplemented by surveillance capitalism and google play store revenue.

eos looks the most likely to me because of the partnership with murena; but i still hesitate because my sub-part experience using international brands within the united states and all of the lineage phones are either prohibitively ancient or international.

do you have any information on movement with any oems & graphene?

They've confirmed it's happening but likely not until later this year or 2027

Don't use eos if mobile security matters at all to you. It's also not nearly as private as GrapheneOS and frequently phones home to Google.
