   @jifi
   Do you recommend #GrapheneOS? What are some other options? :)

     @leighelse
     That sounds perfect! If @calyxinstitute are on #Mastodon, they must be great ;)

     What made you choose #LineageOS over it, though?

     @madeindex @jifi The best of the bunch is Calyx, and the Calyx team has an account on Mastodon: @calyxinstitute

     I use LineageOS, and there are several others as well as Graphene.

     @madeindex @calyxinstitute @jifi Calyx is only available for the most secure hardware. Currently this means exclusively large phones, and the reason I bought my new phone was to get something smaller. I was previously running #SailfishOS on a Sony XA2+.

     During my research I found a Reddit how-to on installing LineageOS 20 on a https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-star which is about as small as you can get.

     I've not been disappointed with either the hardware or the OS.

     @madeindex You either love it or are unconvinced that it's a serious phone.

     I read books on mine, browse Reddit, Slack and Mastodon, listen to music, manage shopping lists etc. It has an infrared feature: I can control our TV with it.

     I get frequent casual comments, usually along the lines of "What's that? It's not a ... phone, is it?"

     Plus it's small and light enough to wear on a lanyard around my neck, which I sometimes do.
