How much of a risk is GraphenOS to install? I really don't wanna brick my phone.

    Only for Google Pixel phones. The install process is right there. You just need a chromium-based browser (chrome, edge, vivaldi, opera, brave, etc.), an Unlocked Pixel, and the usb cable.

    Also, back up your stuff. Flash Unlocking your phone to install a different OS erases everything on it (for security reasons).

    I had the same concern so I actually just bought a used newer pixel and started a fresh install of Graphene. It took me several weeks to learn how it works and migrate my accounts and switch to FOSS apps wherever I could.
