It's insane to me that there are basically no good options for a secure and private phone from a major manufacturer. All commercial options have some caveats, even Apple. It seems like Google Pixel + Graphene is the only option but you have to do that yourself and it still ONLY supports Google Pixel (for technical reasons, I understand). Literally any laptop can be made secure and private by installing Linux, but with phones your options are severely limited by hardware
It runs iode OS. A forked project of lineage.
It's also capable of running Ubuntu touch. It's a great project, just has some deal breakers for me. If I ever de-google I'd rather use an existing device.

We do have this. Not perfect but a good effort by them. https://www.braxtech.net/
What OS?

What are your deal breakers?
