Hello everyone,
I have been meaning to up my mobile privacy game for quite a while now and am absolutely paralyzingly overwhelmed at all the information online regarding de-Google’d phones, AOSP, Linux builds etc.
All I want is fairly simple: to have a de-googled phone that I can still install and run the Incognito app with.
So I guess with that being basically my sole intention with what I want in terms of usability from a de-google’d phone, my questions are this: Is this even possible? Is a Linux build off the table? Is Lineage OS the only way to go? Should I get a Librem 5 phone? A pinephone perhaps? Soooooooo overwhelming all the infos online lol
I really just don’t want to have my every move be under the surveillance of google and other big tech etc. But basically one of the only things I require is to be able to use the Incognito app on this device, so am I screwed or is it possible??
I have tried searching this topic in the forum already but nothing has come up about this “specific” topic. I see a few people have Lineage OS and a few people have spoken about de-Google’d devices here and there but nothing has been concretely discussion in this matter and I think it could hopefully potentially benefit everybody. It is such a complicated and absolutely daunting task for people who aren’t very tech savvy so please keep the comments newb friendly haha
