Good to know that graphene OS is a good experience. I'm wondering how it is in practice. I just recently started thinking about leaving Google. I made a list of Google products I wanted to replace and frankly it's overwhelming. One I really cannot live without is Maps. It's just the damned best. And waze is owned by Google so afaik there is not much choice. Do you use the Google app sandbox thing on graphene?
Ps. Your username is terrifying.
I can definitely recommend GrapheneOS. Interestingly Google Maps actually runs fine without Google Play Services, but if you do need other Googly stuff then installing the Sandboxed Play Services is pretty trivial. Happy to answer any more questions about it if you want!
Thanks for the info! Do you use maps for navigation while driving? If so, does it work as smoothly as normal? Also have you used the Google wallet for tap payments on graphene?
I've not noticed any issues at all with navigation. Unfortunately contactless payments are one of the few things that don't work.
