thinking about paying $500 for a pixel 6 to nuke it and install either lineage or graphene. Main reasons: security, I want to degoogle, hate bloatware, I want complete freedom to choose what apps I want on my device, smartphones are notoriously known for their short support cycles (to me 4 years is not enough).

what I don’t know is why graphene developers have chosen proprietary hardware from what has to be one of the most foss unfriendly companies

    Make sure you dont buy a pixel that was purchased from Verizon. They lock the bootloader to prevent you installing anything else. They’ll refuse to unlock it even if its been paid off
