New Pixel 7 comes in today.

Do I finally give up on GrapheneOS and go full blown normie and let google stick it's trackers up my ass?

Thinking of using maybe a two phone setup, keep this older GrapheneOS phone for traveling and things where I'm concerned about privacy (ie bitcoin stuff, personal email)...

And using the new normie phone for whatever stuff like shitposting, buying groceries with NFC and using Chromecast?

Help me #[0] what's your advice for someone getting too annoyed with GrapheneOS

This is eventually the path I went down. I ran custom ROMs for nearly a decade. Eventually, I just want me tech to work. I don't want to go and use NFC to buy groceries and get a rooted device error. I want to be able to cast media to all of my devices in my home. I want to take pics of my kids and not have the camera crash and have me end up missing the moment entirely. That said, I haven't used Graphene or any custom ROM in a couple years.

I never had any problems of this kind with Calyx. Yes I know it's inferior to GOS in terms of security, but I'm good with it. 4 years on pixel 4a !

This is where I'm at too Derek. After I went to a OnePlus, I no longer had a need to root even though ironically OnePlus is one of the easier Brands because they make bootloader unlock flawless. .
