I'm about to come into possession of a Pixel 6a. I'm finally where I can dump Google's Android for something else. But I am torn between using LineageOS or GrapheneOS. Which way should I go? Please help me decide.

@As The World Turns I really don't want Google installed, but unfortunately, I probably will still need Google Maps.
And I don't know how many things there will be that might need Play Services, but I'm going to start off trying to use no Google anything.

@christopher @sammi I've run both Lineage and GrapheneOS. I like both.

But whenever GrapheneOS is an option (it only supports Pixel devices), I greatly prefer it, for the various additional permissions options.

I feel more comfortable running apps I don't completely trust, on GrapheneOS, since I can deny them permissions more granularly.
