I assume everyone on Lemmy uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?

I’m just a scrub using stock Android. Am I the only one?

    We’re still working on publishing the results of the census we ran a few months ago (sample size of around 600, where most users were from our Lemmy/Piefed instances)

    Here is the graph for the phone question, exact numbers pending final cleanup:

    We will also be fixing the data labels to be less terrible

          so… no one is using that?

          I had assumed it was reasonably popular.

            I have no idea how popular it is but Ubuntu Touch and Postmarket have a wider device compatibility so I’d guess those will statistacally have to be more popular.

            Jolla is a niche within a niche and has limited availability last I checked. Which is a shame as they seem to be offering some sort of compatibility layer that seems to enable you to just install Android apps. I’d love to see that on the others.

    iPhone 15 here. I gave up on android because Google seemed obsessed with borrowing the most annoying UI features from iOS and just doing them poorly.

    Now I’m on the other side and don’t like it here either.

    Next phone will be a dumb phone, I think. If my toys always make me angry they’re not good toys for me.

    I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).

    You got me, I have GrapheneOS on a pixel 8a. Seems like Android’s only getting worse, so I’m going to do my best to never go back now. I’ve had it for nearly a year and I’m super happy with it, everything works just the way I want it. My only concern is the small battery meaning it often only has 30% charge left by the end of the night.

      I have my Pixel 9 plugged in the majority of the time so I’ve had the cap max battery setting turned on since I got it so it only ever goes up to 80%. I’m hoping this keeps the battery in good health for at least five or six years so I can keep using this thing.

    I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.

    You were waaaaay off 😆

    Pixel 9 with Graphene OS. I don’t really bother with backups besides my personal photos since there’s nothing critical on my phone. But I use immich for photos hosted on my unraid server.

    I do have two backup Raspberry Pis, one at my house and one at a friend’s, that my photos and other critical data is backed up to daily.

    I keep buying motorolas because they’re rugged as fuck. I get a new one every 3-5 years. They’re all the same-ish these days, and rarely come with any sort of incentive or discount, so it doesn’t make sense to refesh too often. I try to get my money’s worth from my devices.

    Can’t tell you how many samsungs my kids have broken, but both of their motos still work.

      Can confirm, Motorola makes some pretty rugged phones. I had my T-Mobile Revvlry+ (based on the Motorola G7 but different camera) for like 7 years.

      After the power button literally took a shit, I opened it up to see if I could fix it. Somehow they managed to seal the buttons in an aluminum block, completely non-serviceable, so I just kept using it for another 6 months or so, using the charging cable to wake it from sleep.

      Knowing the phone was on its way out (oh yeah I forgot to mention the busted screen), I backed everything up, got sick and tired of the thing, and broke it in half by hand. And oh boy that phone was tougher to break than I thought…

          LOL, you know what I mean, it stopped working.

          Kinda hard to consider reviving the phone if the battery ever went totally dead after that, so I knew after I realized it wasn’t properly serviceable that it was on its way out anyways.

    I’m unwilling to get a more modern phone because of all the AI bullshit being shoved into them nowadays. Unlike most of Lemmy, I’m not smart enough to install and fully configure GrapheneOS to work without hiccups. So I remain with this old phone until it quits on me.

      If you actually want to do it, have faith in yourself. It’s not that hard if you read the guide and watch a YouTube video or two. You’re probably smarter than you give yourself credit.

      Same for the excitement. I’m just hoping they don’t release an ‘innovated’ device no better than a Pixel. There’s been a growing trend of even Motorolas coming with less and less. It’s more than a little alarming.

      I cann’t afford a pixel, what would make them think I’d be able to afford a new, flagship motorola? Why won’t they support other populat phones?
