By default it’s normal Android. But you can easily install LineageOS or /e/ OS for example. Both open source degoogled Android distros.

/e/OS is open source not proprietary. But you are correct they are slow with addressing security issues. I’d recommend to go with LineageOS for now.

I don’t think this will ever happen in our lifetime anymore, unfortunately.

You are right but better now than never. Maybe Trump is the president that unites us after all.

too big (FP1 was perfect size)

It would be so awesome if they’d release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.

life cycle is fucking short

To be fair that’s a problem with all manufacturers. But yes they should provide much longer support. At least 5 years. I’d also happily pay for an extended support after that if it’s still working.

not enough focus on LineageOS support

I’d love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.

way too many cameras

I didn’t get this trend in the first place. It looks ugly on all phones. Still they keep adding them like their life depends on it.

dubious benefit

The real reason was to abandon an open standard. They want to sell their proprietary shit.
