@ParetoOptimalDev@asunaspersonalasst That’s the thing that put me off. I brain couldn’t reconcile the idea of de-Googling by buying something from Google.
Took delivery of a Pixel 9 last Thursday after 16 years of iPhones. Within an hour of delivery I had it on Graphene and after a few days of VEEEEERY steep learning curve I’m really enjoying using it.
I have absolutely no idea how any of the sandboxing stuff works, and could stand to have fewer notifications warning me what the system is doing, but overall it’s pretty straightforward.
Google play services betrays you.
Use https://grapheneos.org/ and it sandboxes Google play for you, but ironically requires a Google Pixel phone.
