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
Super cool!
Is jola postmarket?
They use their own SailfishOS
so… no one is using that?
I had assumed it was reasonably popular.
It’s both expensive and perpetually sold out
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.
not for that price
I use Ubuntu Touch on Fairphone 4 with Nextcloud backup (self hosted).
You are lemmy
I need an SD slot and headphone jack so I’m on a Motorola g 25. I got it a couple months ago. It’s pretty good so far. I chad an LG v20 prior to that.
Standardpixel, graphene didnt get my car journey or nfc payments
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.
Fairphone 6 with e/OS
S24 FE. I hate all the recent changes Samsung has been doing but this phone should last me until 2030 at least, probably more. I’m also the only person on Lemmy who likes OneUI, and I’m OK with that now that all alternative launchers are enshittifying.
By the time I need to replace it, the market will probably be in an entirely different place and maybe even some Linux versions could be more viable.
I use Immich, bitwarden, mega, and Tuta. Which covers the backup of everything.
Fairphone4
Im jelly of people who can run GrapheneOS, I can lead others to water but can not drink…
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.
+1 for immich and local hosting.
I never understood backing things up to your own house. Like, if my house burns down I’ll lose my phone and my backup.
Indeed.
I have the photos backed up off site also. Along with any other important data.
I use a Samsung S23 with the standard Android system.
Still have an iPhone 12 mini. Will upgrade to like the iPhone 18 pro or something. I’m waiting until this stops getting software updates first.
I have GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a with everything backed up over NextCloud on a headless Ubuntu rackmount server.
You were waaaaay off 😆
Graphene on a Pixel 8a. One of the few currently viable options, in my eyes.
S24 Ultra. Will be my last Android with the way things are going.
Being on an iPhone for 11 years and then going to Android was a jaw dropping experience.
But now no more sideloading and Nova Launcher went to shit with ads after the owners sold (out).
The FOSS launcher Lawnchair is actually pretty great. Took some setting up, but now it does everything nova did for me.
Sideloading though, yeah I really hope that doesn’t go through. Fun fact even now I can’t use a local gov’t because I have an accessibility service running that was ‘sideloaded’ (it’s from Lawnchair, if you want double tap to lock you need it)
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.
