It works on pixels only, I don't trust Google hardware
There are many other custom ROMs that don't need pixel. Try LineageOS.
I've used it for many years. Lineageos is a largest rom sure .
The issue is that google fucks with base android more and more. Now they made it that there is that yellow logo on boot - your android is insecure. Then banking apps are not working.
Updating from android to android on lineage was a chore on oneplus 8t.
And I ended up not being able to rollback to stock because I wanted to trade in for A new model.
It just makes it harder to use roms.
That's fair
You ain't wrong but it is currently the gold standard
You ain't getting away from glowies, but at least corporate marketing trash can't track you that easily
