This does look like the one from what I've read. Will definitely be giving it a try once I can afford to pick up a Pixel phone.

I'm running it on a secondhand pixel 8a I picked up for 200 bucks! It's great

  • wait are you serious? I will buy one right now if those are available. paid $100 for the cheapest acceptable android I could find (samsung galaxy a05s). but I was seeing $500+ for Pixel phones. coming from iOS, I have no idea about any of this. I am right now going to look again. I just wish it was easier for my mom and dad to switch to something safe like GrapheneOS. Feels like we are a ways off from that.

    edit: Pixel ordered and GrapheneOS incoming, goodbye iOS.

    • Just make sure it's an unlocked device. Pixel 8+ is recommended due to 7 years of support from launch and hardware memory tagging. A used Pixel 8 or Pixel 8a is a great option. 6th and 7th generation Pixels are fine, but they launched with 5 years of support so they're getting down to 2-3 years left.
