From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello

I'm being pushed into the market by google/android to acquire a new phone due to it slowing down. I'm sick of this marketing tactic and the clutter of preinstalled apps and junk software.

What phone and operating system could I get that could allow me to use for a long period of time and out of reach from subversive tactics from giant corporations?

I'm basically a farmer and so know nothing about coding and not too technologically oriented but would really like to break away from the capitalist/hyperconsumerist phone craze. Thank you.

Can you elaborate? This is the first time I've heard that, then again I've never used Grapheme and never interacted with any communities dedicated to the project.

It's really better to NOT start this discussion again, it always bring to flame. You just need to know that GrapheneOS is a good product and developers are really good at their job in maintaining it. And still calyx, lineage, and /e/ are great product too that a lot of people can safely and happily use. Just don't follow internet drama and use what you want to use
