I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company).

Another option would be lineage OS, but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don’t work with this OS and no support.

what works for you? I want a phone with no google, that doesn’t force me to use the manufacturer’s ecosystem and that won’t show the apps I don’t want or need (on an asus I own you cannot neither get rid nor hide bloatware)

    I am very happy with my moto g42 and Calix OS. The phone is reasonably priced (around 120.- euros).

    Only downside is you have to register online to get full root access and I also had to wait like three days till everything unlocked. Otherwise I found the process very easy even for a caveman like me.
