The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.
I had to update to description since people kept thinking that I made the video.

Great video to introduce new folks into the topic!
8:58 lemmy spotted.
Did you forget to switch accounts?
Nah, I thought it would please the 9/10 upvoters on this post who are lemmings to be represented in the video.
This the third pedantic comment I received today.
My bad, I was making a joke because it looked like a comment that someone else would make. I didn’t mean for it to be taken negatively.
There’s an Australian politician that commented on their own post. “Fantastic, great move, well done Angus”.
He’s now the leader of what was a major political party, not so much anymore.
I wasn’t the one who made the video…
Do not mention Ubuntu or E/os
Why not mention Ubuntu or e/Os? I’ve used both on my Fairphone 3+.
Used Ubuntu Touch for years and I’ve got e/OS installed right now.
Both are backed by corporations. E/OS also relies on hidden google services, it is also a more bloated lineageOS having worse security than EOL grapheneOS.

Canonical, a UK-based software company mantains it though, the snap packages are also proprietary
“They” maintain it in the same way that they “maintain” Linux Mint. Which is to say technically they operate the repository that the OS is built from. But that’s misleading as the main OS is built by the German foundation as an immutable OS. That means that the OS packages are tested by the foundation and you can’t install everything else from the repo. Additional software comes in the form of click packages, which as you might have noticed, isn’t snap. Snap support is very much in development at the moment, but only as an additional package manager. Snaps are also mostly open source. The client, the thing that runs on your hardware is free software. It’s the server that’s proprietary.
Ubuntu Touch is ran by the UBports Foundation after Canonical gave up on it.
Are there Linux phones that need to be deGoogled?
I have GrapheneOS. It is sandboxed.
