@Linux@linuxrocks.online Most people around me don't use mobile phones either, and definitely not smartphones, but I'm guessing LineageOS, GrapheneOS, /e/OS, etc. are examples of AOSP-derived OSes that are not proprietary by itself.
Of course all of the bootloaders, firmware, device drivers, etc. of the phones it runs on are proprietary, but I doubt that's any different with the (Sony?) devices Sailfish OS runs on. And in addition to that, the GUI is also proprietary, which is not the case with AOSP.

@kevin@social.interlunium.nl Apart from guessing, you *could* try these things out in your company? It's an interesting changing area currently. What about that usability in means of daily driving? What is your guess on that factor. You mentioned LineageOS GrapheneOS, /e/OS. Oh, and the GUI you refer to is not 100% proprietary - it is only the last bastion to be opened. Indeed SailfishOS is about 95% open at this point (also recently more things were opened) so they don't *intentionally* keep any things closed.
