I’ve been looking into moving towards a more privacy friendly OS on my phones; I’ve been deGoogling my phones to the maximum extension I can manage, deactivating stock apps and putting in as much FOSS possible.

But what other options are there out there?

I don’t want to go full out into Linux Phone territory, as I am not tech savvy enough to maintain a phone on that line, and I have two bank and a carrier applications I would like to keep using.

As I write this, Murena and their /e/ OS seems to be a good option, as they have some accessibly priced equipments and the OS itself seems to be a clean(er) Android.

    the devs are really paranoid in the good way

    I did not say it was entirely bad, but I would say that they have definitely rubbed some people the wrong way when it comes to how they treat other projects

    it supports some exclusive privacy features

    That is true! Some of those are pretty cool actually!

    in terms of being barebones, it is like this out of the box but you can install absolutely anything on it

    Good point to mention! I did mean OOTB, sorry if that wasn’t clear. I think that’s a good thing, less bloat and a more curated software experience, but it’s not for everyone
