I am gathering opinions, and where else to ask this but here?
What is your experience/thinking on mobile OS options? Would you recommend any brands that use non-mainstream OS versions (eg Fairphone)?

I still have an old Oneplus 5T running lineage with android 15
A samsung S4 with android 11 as my kitchen timer.
My family have Motorola edge 20 and Motorola edge 20 pro both with android 16.
I personaly prefer Lineage over E.OS.I use droid-ify app store, which saves messing about with adding extra repos for Molly, a fork of signal messenger and Ironfox.
basic apps I use every day; Protonmail, tutamail, mullvadvpn, termux, lawnchair/launcher, Rhythm/music payer, Comaps/maps and navivation, bura weather app, chaka book reader, open camera, monocles browser,
It just feels so much cleaner faster and better. No intrusive shit constsantly nagging on screen.
I have over the years installed lineage on the old peoples phones at my local old care home. It started with my mum and they all wanted it.
those in their 80's love it. they dont need 500 apps cluttering the home screen, bombarded with adverts every time they try to send a text messsage to their families or doing 50 clicks and swipes to find a friends phone number. I leave them three apps on the home screen, contacts, phone and text.
