First motorola grapheneos phone i am buying to get fully off the google pain train. Grapheneos tides me over until a real linux smart phone shows up or i die of old age. Now if home assistant could get thread network join*ng working without an android phone with a google account i could ve fully ris of those eh holes.

There should be at least one Motorola phone before end of the year that has GrapheneOS support.

Sadly, Verizon Pixel phones, even after carrier unlocking, seem to be forever blocked from using GrapheneOS.

So far. Other companies surely will make their devices compatible if the market share increases for it

I’ve seen this repeated here, but:

Google's Pixel hardware division likely operates at a loss - or breaks even.

and even if every active HN user bought $100-$400 used Pixels from Swappa, meaningless money to them.

I don't see a problem with supporting their legitimate hardware or cloud business models. But of course I see a problem supporting their illegitimate adware and spyware business models.
