Used pixel + GrapheneOS. Takes some getting used to, but most stuff works as expected. The default apps aren't pretty, but ithe Fossify alternatives are a little nicer. You're leaving a whole ecosystem meant to work seamlessly without having to understand how it works, so be prepared for that...

I used to be mac in the 90s onwards so problem solving aint too bad. Moved to linux last year. I am done with ecosystem that are designed to be used against me. Pixel + GrapheneOS is what I was eyeing up, i was just unsure how cosy graphene is with google, I don't want to have to use google store. I will have already been changing habits, its getting relegated to a true phone...hopefully with some stronger security VPN controls. If the services around me want to make it hard I will go back to the dark ages. I no longer use social media and everything else can be done on a browser/laptop where I have a higher level of control of my privacy.
