Graphene is in an interesting position as far as being the only majorly secure OS out of the box. So don't give up until you try it even on a 200 dollar Pixel 6 or a Pro version if you like larger screens.
Use a second profile for all your normie proprietary apps and google services. Then use your main profile for FOSS and privacy outside of work things. Easy to setup and install. No tweaking really out of the box. I've never had a major broken component even with banking apps. Its kinda like the shit just works. I hate its on pixel devices but I Understand why having a secure chipset. The absolutely only complaint I could muster with Gos is needing location to be inside main and secondary profile at the same time Google maps I don't know why. Beyond that. Its been flawless.
Edit: Don't let other persuade you down the rabbit hole of full self hosting and going crazy micromanaging things for perfection. It'll feel like a second job and lead to what you have which is fatigue of something you genuinely care about and rightfully so. If you need help once your on Gos. Message me. There needs to be less friction to achieve tasks not more or people just won't do it.
