  • From only thinking about it for a minute I’m not sure using a Linux x86 device vs a smartphone with a custom ROM changes anything, since all the traffic from websites, chat apps, etc is encrypted with SSL already. There could be other benefits I didn’t think of maybe…

    IMO the best option is grab a google pixel, flash GrapheneOS, use a VPN, and only install open source apps that aren’t full of analytics. You can throw it in airplane mode if you don’t want to be tracked by the cell carrier.

    A phone with graphene is also MUCH more secure than a Linux x86 device in terms of law enforcement searches or theft of the device. And is safer against malware and having your data potentially stolen.
