also on a "not smart" phone (10-year-old Nokia) - yes I could get some newer smartphone and put Lineage or Postmarket on it or something, but then I'd have to deal with worse battery life and I probably wouldn't be able to use the usual "apps" anyway. there's absolutely no way I'm gonna walk around with a device that's spying on me :/

I am waiting for my librem 5 to be shipped

Immortal My (still working and alive) Lumia 1320 is happy to see there are still some brothers out there. Same here, I really liked it in the day. Now it's just there for backup, but I switch it on and check from time to time.
Now on a Mate 20 X.

    I used Android, then meego harmattan, after that android, then sailfish, then ios, and currently android again 🙂

    So i am currently using standard android stuff, nothing to sing about there.
    i would however like to give an honourable mention to the best phone i ever had and one i still miss to this day, the nokia n900 with maemo 5 OS. For me this was peak nokia. I've even contemplated buying one second hand but... I also like an uncomplicated life 😅

      Diggis best phone ever has to go to the Palm Pre 2. WebOS has had an affect an the entire mobile ecosystem. And the Pre 2 was extremely hackable. AT&T only, but you could pull the cellular antenna out of a Pre 1 from Sprint and get the 2 working. You could also overclock the crap out of them. Had to throw one in the freezer a time or two from pushing it a bit too far.

          Currently using jailbroken iOS on iPhone 7 while (still!) waiting for my Librem5

            bja-au What do you find beneficial about jail breaking these days? I haven't done it for years, so wondered if it's still worth it?

                Stock Android for first MotoG from motorola, Android Lollipop...
                "It's a phone, not a computer" as I like to say, I don't want phones to be able to do what my computer can, if it calls, has instant message like whatsapp(need for work and low cost calls), bank app, and wifi antenae to browse the web a little, then it's fine.
                while, I have to admit, I use it for some e-books, prime user 😛

                Unmodified Android on a Samsung phone.

                markdj There are a few jailbreak tweaks I use a lot, BioProtect (password/TouchID secure folders/apps), Dark Keyboard (still does a better job than Apple implementation IMHO), DeleteForever (tidy up pics), FiveColumnHomeScreen (as it says), Lockscreen custom text (I use it display how to contact me if phone lost), plus a lot of others. Contact me if you want a complete list with reasons 🙂

                  I'm currently on /e/ OS (Android with microG integrated) and I'm really satisfied with its performance.

                  Using LineageOS on an Xperia XA2 atm. F-Droid is very impressive. Even then it's a bit uncomfortable that it's a tracking device. Been considering getting a dumb phone that is at home all the time and use my Lineagephone only with wifi and no sim-card.

                  Could be fun getting another device to try out a Linux mobile OS at some point though.

                  Yep, I am recycling my trusty Sony Xperia Z5 compact with /e/ OS, it's an unofficial build of the OS but it works and it can be used degooglefied! Hooray!!

                    Back on Ubuntu Touch with a Nexus 5 (and a "pro" phone just for call on a Galaxy S3 on Lineage 16 without microG)

                    I'm using Android 9 (Notorious Samsung Galaxy A8, which bot updated up to Android 10) and i ressurected BlackBerry Playbook with BlackBerry Tablet OS and locked bootloader (no hack, no one chance to change dinosaurs system)

                    I use eelo os ungoogled Android. My personal nextcloud server is so well integrated !

                    fabiomorales9999 We are a desktop operating system. This includes laptops and normal desktop computers. Not server or mobile. Those platforms have very different requirements and would not be implemented at all like Solus.

                        I use Android, but I so want something 100% opensource and privacy-oriented. Come on Linux!!! :-(

                        George That has nothing to do with the age of the system. It's most likely a GPU driver bug.

                          there are missing some OS' in the Poll (and the option, to select more than one). I've some devices laying around here:

                          Android
                          BlackBerry 10 (one of the better OS)
                          WebOS (one of the better OS)
                          Tizen
                          Sailfish OS
                          Symbian
                          iOS

                          I loved BB10 and WebOS, but unfortunately, the did not survive. So I'll stick with Android actually...

                            Chrym The poll wasn't intended to be exhaustive. Flarum polls don't support multiple-selections, so you are free to answer with your favorite if that works better.

                              Chrym I've still got a Pixie, Pre, and a Sprint hacked Pre2 laying around somewhere. WebOS was by far my favorite. I miss the days of swapping carrier antennas around and overclocking devices right up to the point of melting the internals.

                                  Brucehankins yeah, WebOS was very modern and powerful back then, but HP slammed it to death. I worked long with my BlackBerry Z10, which had some ideas from webos combined with micro kernel, real time os and buildin security. Was a great OS. Loved it.

                                      Chrym BBOS pre-dates webOS by over a decade. If you specifically mean BBOS 10 (2013), that came out a few years after webOS (2009), but had been in development since before RIM bought QNX in 2010. Most of what you probably consider modern features in webOS, are actually carried over from the original BBOS which had a decade of very heavy UX engineering that everyone copied: Palm, Android, and Symbian. Even the screen gestures date back to earlier touchscreen BB devices.

                                        I mean BlackBerry 10 (BB10, which is not BBOS). The gesture UI/UX was first at WebOS, BBOS didn't had this. BB10 was intruduced with gestures. And yes, BB10 is QNX.

                                        Anyway: BB10 was in my eyes the best mobile OS, followed by WebOS.

                                          Chrym Not sure why you felt the need to read back half of what I said. Not looking to fact-check against you about things I already know. And for the record, I happen to prefer BB10 over any other mobile OS. If it weren't for security updates going away, I'd still be using it.

                                          But fine. I'll give webOS touch gestures by beating BB to the market by < 1 yr with Palm Pre. Though that really means that both companies were developing them at the same time. Nothing else feature-wise about webOS was fundamentally unique though. It was all lifted from earlier OSes.
