Heads down, oneplus6T. Been sold is and stable for roms. Does have a notch at the top that could bother people

Been rocking an One plus 6T with /e/OS (love their built in tracker blocker) for 3 years now. Bought it second hand for $75. Can’t beat it. Probably my favorite phone for Android Roms

Number 1 rule is to try it out on a second phone. Do not try with your current phone. Just don’t.

Second rule : read the first rule again.

In all seriousness, I have had so much fun with mobile Linux OS’s, trying out different phones and OS’s but there’s a deep learning curve and at the end of the day, there is not one that is completely ready to be use as a daily driver or have all the apps that I need - looking at you DUO Mobile (2fa).

However there is /e/OS, where is degoogled, has a built in tracker blocker and uses microG. Use it as a daily driver on my One plus 6t but its technically still Android. Someone did mentioned Murena, same OS.

Buy a cheap supported phone off of EBay and have a go. If you have any questions, let me know.

To add to this, you can also run Waydroid on Linux desktop. Could be a easier way to see of certain apps work.

I’ve used Waydroid on several Linux mobile OS and Waydroid is amazing. Literally no lag while running the apps, even old a low performance phone like the Pinephone.

Let me know of any issues you may have OP. Glad to help out
