That's actually a very popular view in the general population. All those features you list as risky have hardware switches on pine phone. Do you actually think iOS and android are so secure that you'd never need to restrict any access to your data with a hardware switch? What about when your data inevitably gets sold by those companies? Is it still secure then? That said using pine phone is a huge hassle and linux is poor choice for daily phone for UX reasons not security.

- fuzxi 6y agoHave you ever seen a kernel with a good UX? ;)
- vinay427 6y agoThis is a security vs. privacy distinction. I think you both are responding to different things. Look at something like GrapheneOS for a decent glance into the value of security efforts by Google and the open-source community. Unfortunately, most of these don't exist on something like the PinePhone (yet, and perhaps never due to hardware limitations).
- __d 6y agoAndroid is Linux: are you excluding its UX from this assertion?
- thatcat 6y agoObviously I'm refering to phosh wm on postmarket OS or any other of the wm's that I've tried on Pinephone that are adaptations of "linux desktop" experience to mobile.
