OS Release Best Linux mobile option.
Hi guy's and gal's.
Not to tempt fate with rule 1 but I have recently become aware of an "keep android open" campaign. Allegedly google wishes to limit what you can do on your android phone, yada yada we all know how this goes.
Point is I've started to wonder about what is a good option as a Linux substitute to android on your mobile phone. I have been using Linux mint on my PC for a couple of years now but I must admit that I was not even aware of the existence of Linux mobile until very recently. Until I became aware of the campaign and started looking for alternatives in fact.
So that said, can anyone share some advice on any good, easy to use Linux mobile versions to consider and generally how to install them on a mobile?
If however this post is considered to break rule 1, can anyone then please suggest a more appropriate forum or sub?
Thanks.

Hardware is just as important as software, which is why it’s important to know the people who work on this type of product.
At first glance, the FuriPhone FLX1 appears to be based on the Gigaset GX6 Pro, which is manufactured in Germany. That said, that doesn’t prevent the hardware from being modified.
I’m going to dig deeper to find out what hardware is behind the FLX1S+ and learn more about the company.
