I'd really love for someone to come up with a phone OS that I could use on my cell phone. Mine runs on Android and I want to dump all things Google! I read that they have an exclusive deal with reddit where ALL data on reddit would be made available to them for training their AI algorithms. I went on perplexity.ai to check for this and here's the response I received to my query: The deal between Reddit and Google to share data for AI training and search purposes will likely have significant impacts on Reddit user privacy:
It exists and is called graphene OS. It is primarily focused on privacy and security though and as such only supports google pixels since they have both good hardware security and fast security patches. Most others fail at one of the two.
Otherwise you could install calyx OS.
Oh tysm! Will Calyx OS work on a Samsung Galaxy phone? Mine's a cheap model. lol. I looked up their page and i doesn't list Samsung phones among devices supported. I'll check Graphene as well. :)
I'm not sure, I got a used Pixel so I can use graphene.
