GUY BASED MY WORTH OFF AN iPhone
Met this guy at uni he wasn't the best looking but he was nice we get to talking and he jokes about how I have An Android (he. Has an iPhone btw) so I jokingly reply with a sassy remark and say "well if my android is a problem maybe you should buy me an iPhone." He smriks and say"I have to see if you're iPhone Material ." I get offended slightly and he says it was. Joke
Joke or not I didn't find it funny and I said I am no longer interested lol I need opinions and I crazy?

Pinephone is a linux based cellphone with tech a full decade behind everything else.
It is entirely degoogled, idk if it runs apks or binaries or what, but allows you all manner of linux spergery, most importantly full drive encryption.
I'm not sure if they upgraded it or what the current specs are but it's like a phone, but worse and more expensive in every way and I cant imagine the bluetooth works right

it was never "googled" in the first place. its not android, it's not AOSP, it's just a normal ARM64 computer that you can run linux on
it just runs regular linux programs.
you can run android apps, but you have to use waydroid or something.
android already has way more sophisticated FDE and bootloader locking (this is why grapheneos' schizo dev doesn't port it to devices other than pixels). There is only one pinephone distro I know of that even has FDE.
there is a $200 one thats slow as balls and a $400 one that isn't as slow as balls but still pretty slow.
works fine

Are you a chomo or schizo?
You can buy last gen samsungs for like $200 on Ebay and mog the pinephone so $400 is expensive imo.
In all seriousness how do I get FDE on bootloader lock on a Samsung, i dont want anyone seeing that im on this site if i lose my phone

I got the $200 dollar one and I just use it as a modem sometimes. i use a fairphone on the daily.
if course, but it still won't run linux you stupid BIPOC. that $200 samsung phone won't just have the closed source android locked in by the bootloader, it will have all of the samsung chink aids on top of closed source android and it will probably be carrier locked too.
you need a device with support for AOSP, and an unlockable or relockable bootloader. Pixels are good for this, just use grapheneOS or calyxOS. You can tell it has FDE because it requires you to put in your password when you reboot, just use a long password you enter once when it turns on and use fingerprint to unlock. Also set it to auto reboot every 6 hours or so, if it gets stolen it will lock itself eventually.
Can't. there is nothing you can do to wipe all of your passwords and shit other than bricking the phone. sorry neighbor you just got samsunged

its like a phone with a replaceable screen and battery. comes with some android bullshit but I replaced it with https://calyxos.org
calyxOS, grapheneOS, lineageOS is all the same thing. it's AOSP, basically they take the the open source version of android and then add extra shit and take out the google crap.

Can you use play store apps or do you gotta run apks?

You can run play store apps on all of em and apks.
The problem is "google play services", which is a background app that basically uploads all of your shit (including your location all the time) to google. You can run most apps without it, but some will have minor errors or complain, typically if they have in-app purchases.
There are a couple of workarounds that don't involve installing google play services:
CalyxOS has a thing called microG which does some of the less invasive parts of google play services. Also it has a firewall that lets you choose what apps can phone home.
GrapheneOS has a thing called "sandboxed google play services" which is a bit better than microG and pretty much works with everything. I've never had a problem with this one.
Just avoid using shithole apps that use google goy services. There is a lot of non-shit apps on "f-droid" (https://f-droid.org) that are open source and won't upload your data to some chinese ad farm and don't require google play services, its like the open source app store.
There is also an open-source client for google play called "aurora store" (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store) but it doesn't really solve the google play services problem.
If you're interested, I usually just recommend just getting a google pixel and then install grapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org) cause it has an easy installer and solves the google play services problem really well, see below vid:
