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.
Yes I’ve had several pixels and oneplus phones over the years and run various roms on them, it just seemed like graphene would be an odd mention/recommendation in this community.
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.
Graphene os seems to be a popular option. For some Sonys you can install Sailfish. Any other options?
I looked at GrapheneOS briefly yesterday and it seems like the only supported hardware is really… Google Pixel phones?

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