Seeing a game is Ubisoft makes it a total nonstarter. I refuse to have to have a separate account and be forced to log into it just to play a goddamn game.

As a citizen of the US, it’s not like we entirely respect rule-of-law. We’re all too happy to overlook enforcing laws against rich/famous/corporate, and all too happy to overlook legal protections for poor/immigrants/minorities.
Buddy had one. Second-hand, it seemed like a tremendous pain in the ass, didn’t allow him to do most things, and in the end it seemed a moot point. The radios are all closed source/proprietary, it connects to closed source/proprietary/corporate-controlled towers, and you’re sending data to people running totally insecure devices. Ultimately his use case was to just establish a VPN connection to his home computer and route everything through that.
I can see getting into a Linux phone for the interest of the operating system and trying to push the technology, but if it’s a security/privacy issue, I think you’re much better off either using a dumbphone or a burner.
I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:
Without knowing those things, it’s just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you’re looking for.

If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It’s maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It’s telling advertisers that it’s still a place that’s worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?
It’s like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You’re still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.
