@nadiaalbelushi I've always been super afraid to transition to Linux, although I'm very interested in it. I'm in the process of moving my main contacts over to a non Google, non Outlook associated email.

And I'm working to find a proper non android phone, or maybe learning how to root one. I'm sort of tech savvy, but it's been a long time that I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm a little intimidated by it.

@albacan i've been looking at the phone side of things for a while now and have come to the conclusion that the best option is to pick the phone OS you like the look of, check which devices have the best support on it, and pick up a secondhand one to experiment on. that way you're not without a phone while you're fiddling for an unknown amount of time @nadiaalbelushi

@mensrea @nadiaalbelushi

That's a fantastic idea, thank you! I've got several old Android phones laying around, so I'll have to tinker with them. There's an old S9 that I've been wanting to fix, and this might be an excellent way to learn!
