Hey

I am planning on putting graphenos (or another os) on my pixel (currently using a pixel 6 but will have a pixel 8 shortly). I have a few questions about using then new os. Mainly are there any apps that don't work. I use my phone for work being a OTP to logine daily etc is that still possible and reliable. There is one game I play on phone downloaded from the play store is that still possible? Lastly how do updates come can I download an update regularly from phone or do I have to plug into PC each time and know there is an update ready and how would you revert back to Google os if needed.

Sorry if that is a lot I just feel scared to take the "leap" into what is for me unknown. Thanks

In order of question:

just gPay contactless payments (that I've found)
me too, no issues
should play just fine with gPlay
updates are ota just like stock android (once gos is initially installed); they have a restore method that afaik uses the google restore website, I haven't used it in a while but it does work and is pretty straightforward

(used many, many roms over the years, currently gos for 3.5y)

In addition to GPay contactless, Android Auto will also not work on GrapheneOS.
