Looks like I’m in for it if I decide to go this route.
It really is easy once you get the bootloader unlocked. The guys on this thread who offered me advice know what they're doing.

That’s encouraging. Everytime I dive into this tech stuff I always run into some issue then I’m stuck and regret even starting down this path.

Me too. Believe me, if I can do it, you can. This was easy compared to my struggles with my node, switching to Linux, switching to NixOS. I'm tech challenged, but I really get an enormous amount of satisfaction once I succeed, even if I had my hand held all the way. In this case, I had the added incentive of breaking away from big tech tyranny.

Absolutely. I think I will take this plunge when I replace this phone. It’s just I have a long track record of stuff not working
LND
CLN
Nodl
Casa node
Apps on Linux
Wallets
Coinjoins
And it truly annoys me when I listen to podcasts and people are like just jump in the community is so nice and willing to help. The you actually test it and your requests for help go unanswered on GitHub.
I say all this because this tech is far from ready for mainstream adoption. Like the recent Trend on Twitter is self custody is easy just write down Twelve words but yet they fail to mention where to put those words generate an address and actually send bitcoin to it.

It's a tradeoff for sure. Privacy for convenience. At this point in my life I have the luxury to take the time and put up with some frustration. That wasn't always the case. Everyone must decide for themselves. I just started with graphene. So far, so good. I may be ready to give up next week.

😂 hopefully not. Every little thing helps. Glad we have SN to connect and support one another

Very true. This tech sub might be the perfect place for people who know what they're doing to help those of us who lack expertise.
