[kwlug-disc] Local places to buy unlocked phones...

[doug moen]

I think you want an open source Android *distribution*. You'll want it
either preinstalled on a new phone that you buy, or some easy way to
install it on a phone after buying it. You'll want automatic security
updates. Probably you don't want to compile the source from scratch and
manually compile and install all security updates.

The most popular one seems to be LineageOS.

CopperHeadOS (from Toronto) is an extremely security oriented open source
Android distro. If you want to have the most secure opensource phone on the
planet (which implies that you don't want to be spied on by Google or use
their app store), then you might want CopperHead. You need to buy a phone
from them, which has the OS preinstalled, and then you get security updates
from their server. You'll use fDroid as your app store (it's an open source
app store).
