      literal liberalism, it’s putting lipstick on the pig that is android, the entire system is built from the ground up to be a surveillance nightmare. Postmarket OS should work but you’ll be better off getting a used Oneplus 6/6T and waiting for camera support (soon ™ )

        Maybe but many have gone through the trouble of stripping the surveillance processes from it for your convenience.

        It is a great OS from a functional standpoint and realistically your only other option is iOS, which comes with a whole load of other baggage.

        Patches for the kernel that make the camera work exist, even though they haven’t been accepted into the kernel you could just compile it yourself. Maybe I’m not the best resource though, I hard bricked my 6T two days ago. Ubuntu Touch is also an option, it has camera support because it uses an older more custom kernel.
