Ideally none at all. A linux phone if you have to have one.

We can't all be Jack White. I've tried. You cannot live in this society with no phone. Unless you have no friends and no job.

Can't even get on the bus or easily apply for government programs/loans, or review your medical anything online without an app now in my province. There's workarounds but they are not accessible.

what's a linux phone? I thought android was written on Linux

[–] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

android is heavily modified unix afaik. Linux is not, it uses gnu. the only linux based os i am aware off is postmarketOS

Unless it's changed Android is built on a modified Linux kernel.
