I always found it weird that the OS that attempts to limit the impact of Google’s severe privacy issues mostly only runs on hardware by Google.

Not only weird, but it’s beyond rich. There’s no way on God’s green Earth I’m giving money to Google to buy hardware that allows me to escape Google’s corporate surveillance machine. That’s just too much irony for me.

My deGoogled cellphone therefore is a FairPhone running CalyxOS.

CalyxOS is a mighty fine AOSP distribution, in case you wonder. Very pro, very polished, and I’ve never had a problem with it.
