@coolboymew@shitposter.world @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @condret@shitposter.world I've tried using alternative ROMs like Lineage OS but after your device is sufficiently old (like my loved Galaxy S5) none of the normie apps I would need a phone for even work on it anymore, so I can only use whatever is on Fdroid (and doesn't require a recent version of Android), which kind of defeats the purpose of having a phone for me at least.

@Kerosene@detroitriotcity.com @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @condret@shitposter.world The issue with most alt OSes is that they requires ultra specific phones. The issue with phones is that they have like 10 fucking versions. "Oops, you have a Galaxy S6 but the OS only supports the Russian version buttloader, too bad!" so most of them are relatively worthless The only one really worth it from what I've seen is Graphene OS since it focuses on Pixel phones and there doesn't seem to have a similar bullshit on Pixel phones
