I have used LineageOS [0] for a few years on my old phone, and last year I got a Pixel 4 and I am using Graphene on it. Both systems work well and I am really glad they exist; Graphene gets extra points for its extremely easy installation process. Unfortunately it seems Graphene is already phasing out support for the Pixel 4 [1], so I'll have to switch back to Lineage at some point.

The only technical limitation I have encountered using these ROMs is related to GPS: my position is often lost and I need at least multiple minutes to gain it back (or sometimes it never comes back, depending on where I am). This is likely related to not using Google's location services, even though I have turned on all settings like using WiFi / bluetooth to improve the location accuracy. I tried every advice I found online, without luck. Somehow the issue is a bit worse on Graphene, as my position is lost every time I close the Maps app, but it may be related to the phone and not the OS.

Pixel 8 works amazingly with Graphene's new network location feature. Position fixes are SO MUCH FASTER. It is truly a gamechanger. First it was Wi-Fi only, but they just released cellular location as well. They provide a proxy to Apple's location services.
