I'm in doubt about a new phone for daily use. I am technically skilled, but I don't want to have to constantly tinker with it. Banking app (Triodos) and government app (DigiID) should work.
#Pixel 9 + #GrapheneOS or #Fairphone 6 + #LineageOS?
RE: https://todon.eu/@joeneXtra/115877376620321285
I am a very bad listener. Sorry. But I decided to go for the #Fairphone.
Reasons:
1. Yes e/OS had it's issues, but those issues are only when you choose their premium subscription (that I won't use). And if there are other issues coming up, there is also regular LineageOS.
2. I could not afford a refurbished Pixel 9 all at once (I don't trust regular second hands), so than I had to go for a new Pixel 9 on installment, and that is giving a lot of money to Google and that is of course not de-googling. 🤷
3. The Fairphone is of course more ethical than the Pixel and not American (European, Dutch). Not perfect, I know, but still worth supporting.
4. The Fairphone has a warranty of 5 years and an end of life on 25 June 2033 (!).
5. A few people I know and trust recommended the Fairphone to me. 🤗
