LPT: If you’re not a fan of where Android or iOS is going but have to use one, buy a used phone to avoid giving money directly to ill-intentioned manufacturers. Then use some of the savings to support Linux Mobile Distro development!

We need to show a market demand for repairable phones and unlocked bootloaders.

    I refuse to buy any phone new, I always look for one 2-3 years old with verified stable support for lineageOS.

    Also a good way to do a little to reduce e-waste. Many slightly older models have stock remaining new-in-box so it isn’t always an issue of buying ‘used’ hardware.
