I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?

Update: Switched to GrapheneOS, no regrets :)

      There’s basically no comparison between the bloatware on Samsung and Pixel.
      I felt most annoying prompts and notifications with the Pixel were solvable where Samsung is a constant battle.

      And then the alarms don’t seem to go off reliably.
