• Switching to PinePhone for a noob

• Ask HN: Open-Source Mobile Phones

  There is /e/ OS - https://e.foundation - which also offers their second version of the Murena phone that comes pre-installed with the OS - https://murena.com They also sell other phones pre-installed or you can install it yourself. Disclaimer: I haven't used it yet but trying to find some time to install it on my Pixel 4a. Otherwise Fairphone is fairly open. You won't find anything that's usable and is fully open,... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
