But in the mean time, I still trust a Linux distribution more than my phone when it comes to my private data.
My Linux distribution doesn't have a built-in advertising id, unknown manufacturer modifications I can't even look at or shady processes which have more power than I do.
I think it's time for the tech community to move beyond just the tech side and understand that security is also a social contract.
In today's world, attacks on your data are much more common than targeted exploits on the kernel so I would put it in opposite order. If there's no privacy then there's no security.
> Irony being that Mac OS X is the best at privacy out of the commercial OS out there.
The bar is very low and OSX is still way below a Linux distribution
Install GrapheneOS on your phone, problem solved? You get all the security sandboxing and layering of Android (plus the Titan M2 secure element). And you can decide which app stores you want to use and if you find sandboxed Google Play Services acceptable.
