We Must Break The Chains

Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.
Yes, because you can buy used phones that have unlocked bootloaders to install a distro.
sorry I'm asking a lot, but does there happen to be a wiki or list of such devices ? What should I buy if I ever (rn I don't have a mobile, only a computer with Ubuntu MATE)
I’m happy to answer questions. I would say look at Fairphone or Volla since they have the most open mainstream handsets if you’re in Europe. Though if you’re in other regions try looking at well supported used models.

Also shiftphone is an option!
Thanks !! I really have an obsession to bookmark wikis
They add new devices every month, cheers!
Is the Furiphone good? What is good and what is bad about it?
The model has 3 hardware switches for the modem/camera/microphone however the resolution is at 720p.
The company is based out of Hong Kong.
I have been using a fairphone for about 2 years and its great. I drop my phone a lot and I've still not broke the screen, even though it deffo needs a case. I like carrying around spare batteries, even though you can't do that on the fp6 apparently. The camera sucks worse than phones that some of my friends have that were 1/3 of the price.
FuriPhone not Fairphone

It's a Linux phone with a Debian based OS, but with the AOSP kernel using the Halium compatibility layer.
