I don't have the money to get a Librem 5 or similar phone. I want the most security I can in the meantime until I can get one. I also want the Google Playstore so I can get a few Android apps I use. Is their any OS I can use that's secure, gives me access to the Google Playstore and run Android apps?

Edit: I have a Nokia 8

Well I'm looking to root mine and remove Android OS. I don't like using Google's stuff but I'd like to use their apps

Android rooted is basically just a proprietary version of linux that you can shut most of the stuff off on. I've never specifically looked into flashing an android device w/ linux but recall it's been done w/ a few tablets.

I know my Nokia 8 is very barebones. Like it has no bloatware from the manufacturer. When I bought it it had bloatware on it from the vender, not Nokia themselves. I took it to a local computer tech for $25 and he got all the stuff off of it
