I'm on GrapheneOS on tablet/phone for time being, but I'm fine going back to a dumphone and a Linux or BSD tablet or convertible.

If in the future i'm ever forced to drop smart phones because of further proprietary/removal of open source option then i'm definitely going this route.

have a dumb phone and just rely on a good laptop.
