You're planning on soon transitioning from a 2 year old phone for sustainability reasons?

Uh, no?

I'm currently leasing my Fairphone 4 from Commown, so I'm fairly sure it will go on to live a healthy and productive life elsewhere. I also purchased a used Pixel 6 Pro from eBay.

As per my comment elsewhere in this post, I'm switching away from Fairphone because I care more about the security and software-level ownership of my device. If GrapheneOS had support for Fairphone, I would have stuck with my FP4 for many years to come.

I recently bought a second hand Pixel 6 and installed GrapheneOS on it. Couldn't be happier. Surprisingly it's one of the most straightforward ROMs I've used, and I've used many over the years.

Glad to hear it! Mine still hasn't arrived yet but I'm very eager to give GrapheneOS a try. Tried LineageOS a few times over the years but when paired with microG it's barely usable, and with Play services I might as well just stick with stock.

ahem I believe GrapheneOS is an OS, and not a ROM... The project founder really wants you to use the "right" terminology: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33567842 ;)
