What I mean is how much do you use open-source software on these privacy disrespecting phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, etc).

For example I use these apps on my Redmi 13C: -Floris board as keyboard -Breezy as weather app -VLC, Vanilla and Kodi as media players -Fossify as voice recorder -SimpMusic instead of Spotify -Nekogram (Telegram client) -Organic maps instead of Google Maps -Sealnote notes -Persian calendar as calendar -FDroid as store -Jerboa and Dawn (Reddit client)

etc.

All of this is about 10% since I have 100+ apps.

    I have 50 apps total.

    Of the 50, 17 are system apps that can’t be removed (iPhone), leaving me with 33 apps that I’ve installed.

    Of the 33 installed apps, 17 are self hosted and/or fully or partially open source apps & services, which works out to 51%

    Edit to add: I choose open source whenever possible.

      me too. open source software is the most privacy respecting and in a ton of cases it has more/better features.
