LPT: If you're not a fan of where Android or iOS is going but have to use one, buy a used phone to avoid giving money directly to ill-intentioned manufacturers. Then use some of the savings to support Linux Mobile Distro development!

We need to show a market demand for repairable phones and unlocked bootloaders.

I also just did this and got a refurbished phone for a decent discount compared to buying the same one new.

LineageOS support is an absolute must. I haven't used a stock Android for the last 6-7 years probably.
