Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.
I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS
I’ve not changed phone OS’s before. Is it possible to switch back after you’ve changed? Or is my best bet to run an emulator with it somewhere to see if I like it?

Google is surprisingly open with their hardware, which is truly a breath of fresh air (especially from a tech giant) in the increasingly locked down digital world.
You need to make sure a stock ROM is available - I would download it before making the switch and keep it around just in case. In my experience these ROMs often end up being a game of chasing dead links around in old forum posts, so it’s good to make sure you have the files. :)
Also, this thread is a bit weird. I had great experiences with /e/OS though, so nothing against de-Googled Android.

AOSP is android. :)
It is if your phone bootloader can be unlocked and there are custom roms available for it.
Check out the guides on YouTube or xda forums. Your phone brand should have their phone OS available if you would like to change back.
By all means, check out the rom on an emulator.
Yes it is possible to revert to stock android. It is a better version of stock android though.
