GrapheneOS will help with being able to install F-Droid, apps from it and sideload other apps, but it means you will be blocked from installing government/other apps, so you will need a second phone with an Apple/Google OS.

If you use those apps. All of the apps I use, including my banking app, work fine on GrapheneOS.

For now.

I have installed Graphene and Lineage in the last couple months and had good experiences. Easy as ever. Not on my daily driver though

I already use 2 Android phones. One for main usage without the evil company. Another one with 2 apps from Playstore installed; it would cost me significant money not to use one of the duopolists there. I really hate having to pay the Google/Apple tax. The only choice I have is to decide which bad actor receives it.

(Typing this on my 3rd phone, Sailfish OS. Unfortunately the software lacks sufficient maintenance efforts and the hardware does not suit me for primary phone use)
