    Genuinely interested, but any time I look into it it requires hardware that’s expensive to import or many years out of date.

    The oldest phone I still have lying around is my Pixel 7 that was my initial jump into GrapheneOS, I haven’t found any distros that are compatible with a Pixel newer than a 4a. If anyone knows of a compatible distro I’d make the jump.

      Graphene is a good upgrade over stock android.
