ANDROID alternatives The biggest alternative to Android is iOS from Apple. But we’ll skip over that for reasons already mentioned. Here are a few Android OS alternatives: LineageOS – A free and open-source operating system for phones and tablets based on Android. Ubuntu Touch – A mobile version of the Ubuntu operating system. Plasma Mobile – An open source, Linux-based operating system with active development. Sailfish OS – Another open source, Linux-based mobile OS. Replicant – A fully free Android distribution with an emphasis on freedom, privacy, and security. /e/ – This is another open source project with a focus on privacy and security. Purism is also working on a privacy-focused mobile phone called the Librem 5. It is in production, but not yet available (estimated Q3 2019). 80 views04:32
