I am trying to take control of my digital footprint and not trust big tech with my privacy.

The big step is to #degoogle my life. In order to do that, ironically, I need to buy a google pixel😁

      Yes, people keep suggesting it over lineageOS. That’s why I am buying a used Pixel.

        I’d like to try Graphene but older Pixel phones are end-of-life or not supported at all. So I again put LineageOS MicroG on my Pixel 3a and 4a. Those phones are super cheap and still great to daily drive. So no Graphene-experience for me, I guess.

        LineageOS still uses many Google servers for location, time, etc. in underlying processes.

        GrapheneOS have their own servers and are the only ROM to cut those ties to Google.
