I Installed a Graphene-Based OS on Non-Pixel Phones… Here’s the Catch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjGjqBAAgQ

"I was watching youtube(Invidious) and notied RestlessOS . Have you heard of this and are there people actually tried this on non-pixel phone?

"RestlessOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to the GrapheneOS project or its developers."

I'm very hesitant to give money to Google pixel so I'm going to experiment on this one."

I'm not sure about that. By buying used, I'd say you're at minimum repurposing what would otherwise become e-waste. I don't think you can say 100% of people selling their used phone are upgrading to the same manufacturer, either. Perhaps they agree your point in them being "dogshit phones" and want to recoup their loss as they side- or up-grade.
