Samsung has great hardware, but their version of android is getting more and more bloated. And android itself is moving in a direction reminiscent of how I felt about Windows after win7.

Some 20 years ago I used Cyanogenmod on a Samsung phone, and that worked great, but it seems to no longer be active.

I see many alternatives, such as graphene, lineage, et.al... what are the pros and cons of each? For one I see that GrapheneOS only supports the pixel.

Note: I'm not 100% ready to deegoogle entirely, so if possible I would like to keep some features related to Google Play and its services.

I'd love an actual linux phone again; I bought a Neo FreeRunner early 2008, and while the tech wasn't very mature at that point, it was my daily use phone for a while.

And no, I'm not buying a fucking iPhone. Made that mistake in 2009.

FYI you should switch to morphe instead of revanced. All of the maintainers left revanced after a falling out with OsumAtriX (or however you capitalize it) who was apparently toxic and impossible to work with.

Morphe is updated daily and is lightyears ahead of revanced. Revanced has been copying code wholesale without attribution from morphe (including typos. No attribution is a GPL violation) so morphe DMCA'd revanced (which might get both projects killed... Not wise IMO but they did it...)

Anyways, morphe is the bees knees and revanced is basically abandonware at this point due to lack of maintainers. Osum is so toxic people who want to help can't stand him and just go to morphe.
