    Didn’t Graphene specifically require a Google/Pixel phone versus Lineage etc which works on many various devices

        Yeah don’t get me wrong, I actually prefer Pixels from a hardware perspective and have had a few of them. Just seems like a weird choice for somebody specifically saying they’re trying to get away from Google. Baby steps I guess :-)

          I mean, for most people I’d wager that “degoogling” is mostly about stopping your data from flowing to them, not your money. And since just the hardware itself is (presumably) not spying on you, that’s probably an okay tradeoff to make for many

            Makes sense to me, especially since I’m in the same boat. I’m looking at a Sailfish device to run in tandem while I consider what the best options are to move on
