can an average person use a linux phone?

@linuxphones

I’ve been reading some articles about mobile Linux and many of them state one must be an “advanced user” or that the software isn’t secure. How true is this?

I already use Linux on my laptop, but I’m not a software developer or anything like that. Would I be able to slap a new OS onto an old Android phone and be on my way, or would I run into problems?

    All these projects are open source.

    There are plenty of youtube tutorials you can watch to get an idea how to install them. But don’t hesitate to ask!

    Lineage supports the most phones.
    Graphene supports Google Pixel Phones and Calyx supports Google Pixel Phones, fairphone and the shift6mq.

    All in all, they are all great and beautiful projects which give us more freedom and privacy.
