Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm considering transforming my Samsung Galaxy A33 into a Linux-powered phone. I'm curious about the available options and if it's a good idea for everyday use. Any recommendations or insights?

You might want to check out LineageOS! It’s a popular choice for custom ROMs. However, make sure your specific model is supported, as I've seen some uncertainty about device compatibility.
If you're set on this, check out the migration page from the community! It's loaded with tips and links to resources that can help make the switch easier for you. But do use root access carefully and always verify your downloads!
That’s good advice! Just be cautious with third-party repos and always ensure you’re sticking to secure practices.
Consider PostmarketOS or some distros under proot-distro. Tools like Termux can help you run Linux with a GUI and sound if you're up for a bit of configuration!
Just a heads up, Android is already based on Linux. Switching to a fully different OS might complicate things and could limit app functionality, especially with banking apps.
I looked into LineageOS too, but it seems they don’t support the A55 at the moment.
