Does anyone use a Pixel with GrapheneOS? Strongly considering that for my next phone.

Graphene is a full-blown Linux OS and is more privacy focused, it's only available on Pixel phones. Lineage is more like de-Googled Android.

God i hate Samsung. It's the Apple of Androids -- everything is dumbed down and just different enough to be frustrating to a native user.
How to you clear your cache? On literally any other Android it's something like Settings > Storage. Samsung will be like Settings > Device Wellbeing > This Phone > Applications > ????
You'd think, being the leading brand, fixes would rarely be necessary and come quick. Nah, S22 owners had like 2 months where they randomly couldn't receive texts. It only affected Samsungs on Verizon, purely software.
And that FRICKING bixby button.
I've only had one phone with an extra button I actually appreciated: my Blackberry PRIV had a dedicated "mute" button between the volume keys

if you dont care about camera's that much just get a moto. One of the few companies that keep phones as clean as possible. Pixels are also ok but overpriced.
