I really want a pixel so I can install GraphineOS

I don't want to be a party pooper but I can't help feeling that buying Google's hardware to avoid Google's software might not pan out in the long run.

I know. Ironic, isn’t it? But as far as I am aware, only Google Pixels support GraphineOS.

Until this alleged Motorola collaboration bears fruit, Pixels are all there is for GOS.

I bought a 1 TB Pixel 8 Pro refurbished off eBay and put Graphene on it right away. I love it.
