I just purchased a Google Pixel 10 phone. My 7 Pro Pixel with Graphene OS literally became unserviceable. I plan to turn the Pixel 10 into a Linux OS phone as well. My question is should I be concerned that it has the eSim. As I understand it, it could allow more surveillance because I can’t take the sim card out, if I desired (which so far I haven’t desired…lol).
I just want to know the concerns before I wipe the google OS. Thank you!
One side question. I have heard a lot of phone security experts warn against getting off the big tech OS train. As I am sure you have heard, they say you become more of a target because so few have taken the steps to install a Linux OS or some other phone that is private from their prying eyes. What are your thoughts on this?
