A Linux phone would be good, but not sufficient. Once things like Apple is doing become normalized, the next step becomes making it illegal to distribute or use software that doesn't do it. So running your Linux phone will be illegal, and why would you want to do that anyway, except to look at child pornography? Similarly, non-sanctionable digital currencies like Bitcoin will be made illegal. Avoiding modern tech is a workaround, but will be get increasingly hard as the world becomes increasingly reliant on it. (Cash, also, will have to go away.)
