    I am going with CalyxOS when I can afford another phone. I have investigated graphieneOS and /e/ OS, but CalyxOS looks like the best. graphieneOS is slower than the other two and it seems to be run by a bunch of immature college snowflakes who are
    straining to find micro-agressions in their help forums. /e/ is questionable to some supposed experts, they don't trust it for some reason. I personally don't like the Chinese fellow who is promoting it, he seems to be too sure of himself. CalyxOS
    will actually run apps from the Google store whereas graphieneOS won't. You just have to be careful what you allow on your phone from the Poogle.

    Forget about having a bank app on your phone. The Bank of America came out with an easily hacked app at first.

    In general Apple users (both the phone and mac) are the dumbest.
    The reasons are simple and widely known.

    Apple essentially tells the macOS and iPhone users how to think.
    With Windows Microsoft doesn't tell as many people how to think.
    Linux and Android do even less about telling people how to think.

    But Apple rules over its user like Big Brother does.
    And the Apple users minds are like that of willing sheep.

    I think of Apple users like people who can perhaps maybe use a TV.
    But even then they can only use three channels that Apple gives them.
    When they can't get another channel to work they ALWAYS give up instantly.
    They wouldn't be on iOS or macOS if they didn't always give up instantly.

    I think of Android & linux users like people who use an oscilloscope.
    They never give up until they get the job done that they wanted to do.

    Unlike Apple users who always give up instantly they'll find a way.
    That's why they're entirely different categories and knowledge levels.

    The smartest users are generally linux with windows being far behind.
    The macOS users are only a very slight level above the iPhone users.

    The iPhone users are about as close to being Darwinized as Apple can do.
    The typical Android users aren't anywhere near as dumb as iPhone users.

    Typical Android user might be somewhere between linux & windows users.

    CalyxOS users are at the top of the learning curve on android. Just
    don't use poohgle app store products.
