A few options

1,Getting a Mac with apple silicon and install asahi , dual boot. 2. Add a new SSD and some ram to your current one and enable virtualization in bios. Might need a bios update as well. 3 Dual boot windows , might want to check out https://ameliorated.io/ 4 Get a old crappy Mac just for the itunes. 5. Use the Linux tools mentioned earlier

Assumed as much without opening article

A chair..

Sounds like good news for f-droid adaptation at least.

Used phones exist. GOS is not the only option either. So basically any phone can be improved with at least lineage.

Counterpoint 2 You don't. I use a bunch of them from different countries and crappy builds. GPay sure , just get a case with a cardholder

We cant all be privileged enough to spend all free time by the stove or eat the fancy fair trade stuff.

Yea its a lot easier just to flash a custom rom and not use it then trying to clean out a already google infested install. Usually a lot of headache , but usefull for really old cheap phone the runs out of storage due to updates.

Nope. You want to add them I say don't do that. Post was not about removing Gapps. Adb commands for uninstalling system apps exist but there is like 10 minute of a learning curve to flash GOS

Don't do that :)

Yes but internet exist so they are not stuck if they actually put some effort in. Unfortunately people don't care the way they should.

Well . That's what forks are for. The aim of GOS is not to support a lot of devices. Since it can't achieve its goals of a reasonable secure device that way. But as I said a fork of GOS would be good , or longer support from calyx. I think I got a year more out of a pixel 3 on calyx OS. But if your goal is maximum security there is no way around the fact that without manufacturers updates and to a certain extent hardware limitations, it won't be possible to do.

But best would be a good Linux phone so we can move away from Android all together, hope we can see that soon

A fork of GOS for EOL devices would be pretty nice I agree , but GOS doesn't decise phone security, manufacturers do. Any phone with good enough security would be a target device for GOS.

Calyx OS usually run longer on EOL so I would go there before lineage.

Google do Google stuff not because they are evil. They do it because they can , which is true for any company in this system. If another takes the position it will do the same. Also its not like phones are Googles main income source. Buying a pixel and putting GOS on it probably is worse for Googles bottom line , no matter new or used, than using a stock any other Android.

I don't have one. GOS

I don't have one..

Woosh

The lesser of two evils are still evil

Checked out asahi? https://asahilinux.org/

Good deal if you can get them reshipped from Sweden or Finland is inrego.se .
