Re: "Hi! I just started this Degoogled Phones subspace, and..."
Oh, and some OS have updates at least several times a month, sometimes several times a week, and download 1GB+ per update. This might be a problem for some people.

@michaelnordmeyer: To me, degoogling is more about not being tracked all the time, than it is for security really... So I suspect any OS maker that's concerned with escaping Google's grip will be secure enough for my simple needs... Maybe GrapheneOS is not for me then... I'll look for the best balance between ease of use (including the install process) and privacy... Thanks again for all the info!

I have a Fairphone 4, and while I do use the stock Android that it comes with, I know that they officially support using /e/OS, and will even sell you an already de-Googled phone if that's what you're looking for. It's a great phone, I've had it for a couple of years now and only have good things to say about it.
Also, here's the page for their information about their /e/OS support: https://www.fairphone.com/en/open-source/

@ruby_witch: Thanks, but I'm still in the exploratory phase at the moment. That's why I've been asking so many questions.

I did a reconfig of my phone a month ago or so and used GrapheneOS. very straightforward setup, and I've been able to use it normally without noticeable drops in performance.

I like Graphene. I haven't had problems with it at all. Arguably, it's better than the old stock android phone that I still use when I need proprietary apps. I'm pretty sure graphene can spoof microG now, but a bit of minimalism has changed what apps I use/need, so at this point I don't even care. cheers!
Hi! I just started this Degoogled Phones subspace, and would love to hear from those of you who have any experience installing systems like eOS or LineageOS on their phones... How difficult or risky was it?... Would you recommend it?... That type of stuff... Welcome and thank you in advance! Cheers!
