Wrll you have to use a pixel phone to use graphene os

Yeah, I'm not super happy about that part, but don't really know what to do

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Use a Pixel phone. No more sketchy then any other popular phone manufacturer

It's what I do. With degoogled os. But the proprietary blobs aren't filling me with confidence.

Does your laptop run free software boot firmware? If not, it has the same issues as a phone, if not more. No smartphone runs fully free firmware.

I know all this and that's not filling me with confidence, either. It's why Framework is in my sights.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Framework doesn't have free boot firmware either and it contains the Intel ME (the backdoor in Intel CPU's). The point I am trying to make is that you won't find a perfect solution anywhere.

You're right, but I never said perfect. Perfect doesn't exist. I'm looking for reasonable and sustainable. Projects like framework and libreboot are making this possible for the first time in history. But, like you eluded to, they, too, won't be perfect.
