I have seen a lot of recommendations from fellow stackers here to "escape" Android (&Google). Many suggested Calyx or Graphene, i'm trynna compare both but as a regular person i don't have much expertise on how secure or how private the OS are ?

What Bitcoin-related apps can run without Google Play Services ?

How to install CalyxOS or GrapheneOS ?

What are the minimum requirements to install these OS ? What if my phone "bootlop" ?

Should i just get Pixel ? But Google made it

I'm an active Fountain listener & actively play THNDR games, can i still use those apps outside Android ?

Recommend me entertainment contents outside Youtube

I have lots of questions in mind, please help me escape Google nasty tentacles :)
