    Graphene os seems to be a popular option. For some Sonys you can install Sailfish. Any other options?

        FYI, grapheneos primary aim is security and not offering a degoogled os. The community generally even prefers installing applications through google play, which someone may choose to install.

        Yes, because they allow you to re-lock the bootloader after flashing a custom ROM. They’re also pretty trivial to unlock the bootloader on in the first place.

          Is this really the sole reason? I always thought it was just about supporting the hardware as the pixels are being built differently compared to Samsung, Xiaomi …

          Wished this was possible on a Shiftphone, re-locking a bootloader doesn’t seem that hard. (Though mainly only possible with stock ROM)

            Yes, it is. It’s the reason Graphene says themselves. Graphene is all about reducing potential attack vectors, de-googling just happens to be in line with that goal. An unlocked bootloader is a massive security vulnerability.

      Depending on your appetite for such an experience you could look at PinePhone or FuriPhone or some of the other “linux” ones.
