I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

    We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

    Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

    We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

          so… no one is using that?

          I had assumed it was reasonably popular.

            I have no idea how popular it is but Ubuntu Touch and Postmarket have a wider device compatibility so I’d guess those will statistacally have to be more popular.

            Jolla is a niche within a niche and has limited availability last I checked. Which is a shame as they seem to be offering some sort of compatibility layer that seems to enable you to just install Android apps. I’d love to see that on the others.

    I need an SD slot and headphone jack so I’m on a Motorola g 25. I got it a couple months ago. It’s pretty good so far. I chad an LG v20 prior to that.

    S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I’m also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I’m OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.

    By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.

    I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.

    Still have an iPhone 12 mini. Will upgrade to like the iPhone 18 pro or something. I’m waiting until this stops getting software updates first.

    I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

    iPhone 15 here. I gave up on android because Google seemed obsessed with borrowing the most annoying UI features from iOS and just doing them poorly.

    Now I’m on the other side and don’t like it here either.

    Next phone will be a dumb phone, I think. If my toys always make me angry they’re not good toys for me.

    Librem 5.

    Cons: Storage and RAM small. Battery so-so.

    Pros: I haven’t seen a single other phone I would rather own. Android and iOS are dumb as hell. Terrible OSes, in my opinion.

    I want a Liberty Phone but can’t justify the money. This works well enough for me. I will almost certainly be buying the L5 successor.

        Nope.

        Well, I don’t use any banking apps, personally. My understanding is that they don’t work under Waydroid.

        Other Android apps mostly work fine in Waydroid, so long as they don’t need access to GPS or camera to work properly.

        I removed Waydroid a while back, though, as I only needed it for one app and Waydroid took up almost 1/3 of the storage on the phone. It just wasn’t worth it, and I am happier to be rid of the Android ecosystem anyways.

        I should mention that the Linux phone life is NOT for everyone.

        I should also mention that battery life is still not anywhere close to competitors. Camera is meh but improves with updates.

        For my use cases (Phone/SMS/MMS, Lemmy, Mastodon, and a few other apps), it works totally fine and has proven to be reliable enough for almost 3 years. It gets better with age due to updates.

    You got me, I have GrapheneOS on a pixel 8a. Seems like Android’s only getting worse, so I’m going to do my best to never go back now. I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’m super happy with it, everything works just the way I want it. My only concern is the small battery meaning it often only has 30% charge left by the end of the night.
