That Sounds Great! But Will It Work on My Phone? Currently, GrapheneOS is supported on Google Pixel devices only...

Aaaaaand, you lost me.

I've got so many spare phones that I'd love to install this on. Not a single one is from Google. They screwed me once with their hardware (Pixelbook), and I don't feel like giving them any more money.

Yeah it only being supported on pixel is what made me lose interest too but there is a good reason why it's specifically pixel phones, it's one of the only phones that doesn't have a bootlocker/ you can disable it. GrapheneOS can't operate on phones with a bootlocker. I could be a little off on this explanation but that's the gist I remember.

I would flash custom roms all the time years ago, then I just... lost interest since most of the features I liked came bundled with Samsung phones. But Samsung phones are now (apparently) hard to flash decent custom roms on, so I do guess you're stuck with a pixel.
