Probably the only real benefit now is Firefox/alt browsers

  Firefox with UBO is still a huge win. But Orion browser is making progress. At this point I just don’t see a reason to go android anymore. If I have to be part of a walled garden I may as well choose the nicer one.

    For me the main reason to stick to FOSS Android ROMs (over a Linux phone) is that you retain compatibility with thousands of very good FOSS and non-FOSS apps. There is Waydroid, and it works very well, but if you are primarily running Android apps, an Android device makes more sense.

      Isn't the Android rom scene in shambles? What phone would you have to buy now to be able to even run decent a decent custom ROM?

        Graphene and Lineage work great on Pixel 9s.
