Smartphone that isn't filled with AI slop or general enshittification? - SLRPNK

Shopping around, seems like every option is doubling down on anti-user garbage… I don’t trust myself to do a root or anything like that - my tech skills are juuust good enough to be painfully aware of my own dumbassery, but I’m doubting an out-of-the-box smartphone that isn’t loaded with shit even exists. Previously I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy, but those are both chief offenders.

Linux phone, eventually. Doesn’t seem mature yet, so I’m not really suggesting becoming an early adopter if you don’t rate your own tech skills, but it’s something to be aware of for next time you need to upgrade.
