The Pixels can be boot loader unlocked and a different OS can be installed securely. Fairphone and some motos have this as well. GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and iodeOS are all AOSP based privacy focused OSs. PostMarketOS and Ubuntu touch are based on alpine and Ubuntu respectively, also available for some Pixel, Fairphone and OnePlus devices.
I installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9, and the whole process was amazingly well polished. I was definitely suprised by how well it went. Awesome bit of software.
This is the same experience I had … After I found a reliable USB cable. To be fair, the Graphene docs do mention this as a potential issue, but I’ve never had the USB cable be an issue before. As such, I wanted to mention that that warning is legit.
