super easy - barely an inconvinience
I understood that reference!
And agreed, installation is super simple, just a good quality USB-C data cable (the one that comes with the Pixel works great) and a Chromium-based browser. As for post-installation, yeah it can be a pain but you’d be surprised how much crap from your old phone you don’t actually need. Going GrapheneOS is a good way to go minimalist if you want to.
Agreed, and until the Moto Graphene phone drops one can just buy a used Pixel from a trusted marketplace like Swappa, and no money goes to Google from that used device sale. Save money and keep a perfectly good used phone out of a landfill at the same time.
