>As a follow-up to a post describing what would be involved for me to daily drive a Linux phone, you could wonder why this would in any way be better than Android. After all, an Android phone will still be needed and remain charged, even though I won’t need to carry it around.
It’s like using a paper notebook and calendar. It’s not about what’s most comfortable or easiest. It’s about a journey to question how we are forced to live our lives and to learn how to live (marginally) differently. It’s also about a better balance between security and privacy. Many will point out that a Linux phone is less secure than Android or iOS, but that highly depends on your personal threat model. Linux phones and their apps are all open-source and do not depend on ads or surveillance to sustain some nefarious business model, which means there is much privacy to be won.
