Not mine… Graphene, baby.

The irony of having to buy a Google phone to get rid of Google services will never cease to amaze me. :/

Moreover GrapheneOS requires Google Play Services to use most apps, so you’re not only using a Google device but also Google Play services! There are much better truly deGoogled alternatives around

This is patently false. I run GrapheneOS with no Google play services installed. The only issue I have is no paid app updates and some apps won’t send notifications since they ran through Google. I use my phone though mostly as a phone. I have almost no social media and I do not use banking apps on my phone. I choose to use website versions of anything on my phone so long as I can.

Not to mention, the replacement OSes like /e/os and the others don’t have the hardening of GrapheneOS. Cellibrite recently was leaked they still can’t crack open GrapheneOS.

But you’re saying it yourself, notifications won’t work, banking apps won’t work, and I know there are other examples like the Google location API, so probably maps apps, and I’m sure I’m forgetting many others
