I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?

    The FairPhone comes with stock Android, but you can easily unlock the bootloader and install a different ROM. Some that I know are available for the FairPhone 4 are LineageOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS and /e/OS. With all of these you can achieve a certain level of degoogling and privacy.

    Many people will recommend you GrapheneOS, which is unfortunately only available on Google Pixel devices.
