You are correct, Graphene only runs on Pixel phones. I know there’s a few open mobile OS options out there but I’ve not spent any time researching them. There is a very good chance if you absolutely need an identification, then you can’t get away from Android. Hopefully someone else sees your comment and has an answer.

There’s a post about this on the Danish community here every few months. Afaik no one has any proper progress on it other than carrying a burner device or something

Then buy second-hand. You aren’t giving Google any of your money, and you can focus on increasing your privacy.

Still, repairability is right up there with privacy for me, so I’m quite happy with the hardware right now

That’s fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it’s been a headache because Google doesn’t make it easy.
