I bought an Alcatel phone, it has less bloat, no layer of things like Samsung phones.
Although it has some wallpaper icon that I cannot remove on the lock screen.
At least windows can install itself on a PC, but it's 2023 and it's still not possible to do that with Android phones. I don't think there is a good enough excuse for this.
I'm not an Android or Linux developer but I don't see why it's impossible to install Android myself. Difficult? Maybe (drivers etc), but why would it be impossible?
It's not difficult to see that android is not as open source as we think.

- kevincox 3y agoYou can install Android yourself. Most people will use Android "distros" like https://lineageos.org/ https://lineageos.org/. Or of course you can go the "Android from scratch" route. But yes, the biggest issue is drivers. Many phones have proprietary drivers that are required for the hardware to fully function.
