Anyone know of a good android fork to switch to? I'm sick of using the google bullshit

GrapheneOS. However it only installs on Google phones as only those have their bootloader unlocked.

I've seen the word so much lately I read "bootloader" as "bootlicker" at first.
-
A phone with a locked bootloader is a bootlicker phone

LineageOS works as well and you can get it running on more phones than Graphene; however, GrapheneOS is superior in terms of security

I've switched to CalyxOS. It supports some more manufacturer and models than GrapheneOS. Got no idea how their user experience compares. It's a bit of tinkering to do, so it's not for the untechnically inclined. Also, make sure you got a way to log on to things without using an authenticator or make sure it won't get lost when the phone gets wiped.

There is no good android fork. Android is garbage. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to contribute to the OS or port a fork like lineageOS to a new phone. Even just compiling android is a massive pain in the ass. Mobile linux, like postmarketOS, is the clear way forward. And not on former android phones, but on phones with open hardware specs, specifically designed to work with mobile linux.
