The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.

I had to update to description since people kept thinking that I made the video.

you have not answered the video title question. the answer is not yes, the answer is HOW.

  • also lineage gapps is not treated as system apps. you can disable them in the app list.
  • you havent talked about the endless struggle of spoofing
  • you havent talked about eos being just a glorified and outdated microg lineage
  • you havent talked about where people can ask about their ticket, banking, gov app compatibility, cause this is the most important thing.
  • ypu did not talk about debloat without changing from stock, using custom dns stuff

sorry, but this is even far from the tip of the iceberg. also why would you put black logos in front of a black background...

How:

  1. Get a pixel (or soon a Motorola)
  2. Install GrapheneOS
  3. Everything just works
  4. Profit

But pixels are not sold in my country :(

I didn’t make the video. It’s a quote from their description.
