I buy from electronic shop or national online shop.

If you want a Free Software Foundation recommend distro, I would say Trisquel or PureOS (if you don't need wi-fi). Or Linux Mint. Or Debian with Mate or Cinnamon desktop environment.

I will wait for Motorola.

Motorola will release a phone with GrapheneOS in 2027, it would be a good pick.

I guess so. But you will see more extremists for proprietary to free software. And it's federated like email. So, for example, even if you have see a Proton extremist, it's not a big deal, you can use another provider and still talk to him. Same for Fediverse.

Of course. Mac OS users will tell that you are so poor/stingy to buy an Apple computer, and Windows users to buy a Windows license. I left Windows, Reddit, X and Whatsapp 3 years ago. Switched to GNU/Linux, Lemmy, Mastodon and Signal/XMPP/SimpleX/DeltaChat. Best tech decisions I made. I hope more people will join Free/Federated technology. :-)

People have strange and strong brand loyalty for proprietary things. It's like a culture for them. I have seen it especially on iPhone and Whatsapp. Not only they refuse to use alternatives (Android; RCS/Signal/XMPP etc.). They will think you are a loser if you don't use them. Or, even worse, will try to convince you to use them and that those are the best and anything else is a shit. I believe it's the same for social media. So good luck!

Minetest/Luanti is twice free (as speech and beer). Minecraft is neither. So it's better.

In 2027, Motorola will realease a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled. So no Google phone.

Mailo, 1€/20GB.

Reddit is proprietary and centralized. Lemmy is free and federated. That's why I love Lemmy.

I believe it's good, since it' a fork of Signal.

 

As you may know, Google removed the option to sign in Google Messages with QR Pairing. Now, they force you to do it ONLY with a Google account. People who don't have and don't want to create one, or people that just prefer QR pairing can still do it. But with a workaround:

  1. Download (or use) a Google Messages version that still allows QR pairing (like one from January 2026). It can be downloaded from Uptodown store. I tried installing it from an apk directly but it failed.
  2. Open the link: https://messages.google.com/web/authentication
  3. Sign in following the instructions on the screen.

Do it as soon as possible because Google might remove this option soon.
