Hi. I know the most privacy-oriented (and best-working) phone OS is GrapheneOS, but I was wondering about other, less well-known ones, such as VollaOS (modified Android), Sailfish OS or Ubuntu Touch. Are they private? Do they work? Can I run Android applications on them (VollaOS and SailfishOS) without too much effort? I like using Linux, but I rely on many Android apps, such as navigation, mobile banking, the Garmin app, and many others. Do you have any experience with these operating systems?
And how in the past companies was making money from producing phones in times of Nokia in 2008-2009 when there no good internet and no ability to spy on user
I talked about continuing to make money , after they sell the device. It’s usually just more profitable for a company to not respect their users.
Most companies, if not all, can probably sustain one time payments, but investors prefer growth.
I wonder whether mobile device manufacturers get a cut from Google’s spyware revenue.
