    Wish there was a way to switch my phone to Linux without it having to be a new hobby to learn.

      Yeah, if you have a Pixel, GrapheneOS looks to be the least complicated, but it’s still daunting. I haven’t tried it yet.

        I’m going to attempt to kindly countermand this, there is a web installer for chrome based browsers that I believe anyone intelligent enough to navigate the fediverse can step through easily enough.
        The base install with play services enabled is a stock android experience all things considered; the extra features and additional security are there for those that want to engage with it.

        That is my push to get you going. =)

        Graphene is still Android, which is only tangentially Linux at this point. PostmarketOS is more a proper Linux phone (there are a few others but that one seems to be the most along version to date). It does boot on certain models but even the best ones are a bit finicky still.
