Im considering buying a new phone and i don’t really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.
But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

For emulation there is Waydroid. I’ve never tried to run bank apps with it, but everything else worked smoothly.
Thanks for mentioning it. I heard about waydroid but havent tried it yet.
I’ve used it in multi windows mode with a libhoudini (installed thru a script, I think it was this) (had no luck with libndk) on desktop (x86) because some android apps are not compiled for x86. No need for it on an arm device.
If you have a dual gpu setup, enable software render because it got issue with dual gpus (see here).
