Not trying to be dense, but what is the point of Graphene OS? I've seen it mentioned in circles of de-googling and privacy but I'm not exactly sure what the differences are between it and regular Android. Will my day to day experience be very different? Or is it mostly the same but has privacy/security stuff working in the background?

I have a Pixel 6 Pro I bought used, and would be interested in something like this if it means distancing my data away from Google.

generally, it separates core functions of your phone from google, and lets you decide how much data to share with google via permissions (can be none, can be like stock android), just like any other app.

they also put lots of work into hardening the os against attacks such as the ones used by police and spyware companies to unlock phones, and are basically the only phone configuration consistently safe against those companies.

the day to day experience is pretty much the same as stock android, as long as you install google services. main issues with it (I have heard, I haven't ran into these on my install) are some banking apps, and google pay doesn't work.
