so Android is mostly developed by google so I assume it also sends a lot of data over to google. Is there an OS that's privacy respecting?

AOSP-derived ROMs like LineageOS, Copperhead, GrapheneOS and Calyx are specifically developed as alternative android distributions that do not rely on Google to function

IMO Graphene is the only true option in this list, with Copperhead being aggressively sus given the history

If only it wasn't developed by a complete psycho. Even Louis Rossman couldn't handle it, and he ended up refusing to use GrapheneOS because he couldn't trust someone who is so unhinged with the privacy and security of his personal device.

I'm not saying I hate GrapheneOS, I actually use it currently, but it's a good point to bring up.
