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.

          Don’t know what your financial status is, but you can get a Pixel 7a new for under 350 dollars and renewed under 250 on Amazon US.

        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.
