What do I need to know to install grapheneOS on a Google Pixel? (lemmy.world)

My pixel 7 is shitting the bed and I am considering upgrading and just installing graphene immediately on the new phone as part of my degoogling journey.

Is there anything I need to know about this? I work in IT, so I'm tech savvy. This is my first time installing graphene, however.

I'd be upgrading to a pixel 10 probably.

Additional issues I've not seen mentioned:

Ticketing systems have been an issue for me. I don't do sports but went to a MLB game for a friend's group event and it was hell. No paper ticket and can't have someone show the ticket on your behalf from their phone. One ticket per phone. With sandboxed GPS the app didn't show in the Play Store. Had to sideload. I probably could have used Aurora in retrospect but used Universal Installer from f-droid and a mirrored APK. Then had to disable exploit protections and VPN before I could get access to a ticket. Its random situations like this, while infrequent, it can get frustrating.
Managed work profiles. Work apps usually require GPS but the allow list of installable apps don't include GPS (why would it, its available at the system level). So I can't install or use any apps for work. I honestly prefer it this way, they can give me a work phone.

Oh, yeah. This is a good point. A lot of things require their own apps to do now and quick installation is not always easy. I've had issues that were solvable but required some effort like this. Some friends invited me to a scavenger hunt and it took a while to get the app working (another friend on iOS couldn't get it working either, so probably not a great design). Every parking lot wants a different app these days, which can be a pain.

Event ticketing, work apps, etc may take a little longer than normal to find, install, and get working. Not like you can explain in a group setting, "ackshully, my phone isn't working because its BETTER."
