I was excited to dive into my new smartphone only to once again waste precious time uninstalling bloatware before I could enjoy it.

    Time to load up some custom Android OS. Lineage, Graphene, seem to be the best at the moment. Any others?

      CalyxOS, if your posture isn’t strick enough to require GrapheneOS (more strict than the Average Joe, but not as strict as Snowden).
