I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

I hope linux phones will become more of a thing as they aren't there yet IMO. But of course you can always get a second hand phone... forgot that option

I hate that they don't support them after a while, those with a locked bootloader wont even get a chance. It makes these phones junk from all the CVEs that are being found.

What old model would you recommend?
Is something like postmarketOS viable yet?
What phones are/will be effected?
Do existing phones planned for the program have the payload sitting there dormant or will the system updater (on googled android) need to download the payload?
