Levels of Mobile OS Security/privacy (Higher is better)

  1. Unencrypted, unsupported Android Phone
  2. Android Phone
  3. Unsupported iPhone
  4. Android phone with current LineageOS build w/ MicroG services installed (https://lineage.microg.org/)
  5. Android phone with current LineageOS build and no gapps
  6. Librem 5 (Or ubuntu touch if that's actually still a thing? :p)

I think Ubuntu Touch has community behind it and there is also SailfishOS, but it raises questions on so many dealings with (only) Russia.

I also probably disagree with the notion that PureOS and Ubuntu Touch are more secure than iOS or Android by virtue of them being... I guess not Android or iOS? Maybe more private.
