I’ve tried both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, since I’ve had a Pixel already. I don’t consider one “better” than the other.

Calyx is based on LineageOS, so you get a wider range of devices and functionality. It uses microG, which works great as long you don’t use any apps with IAP.

GrapheneOS’ play service sandbox can handle the case though, so I went with that, not being able to live without MacroDroid pro. Plus I like they got rid of Google location services altogether, and functionality-wise I’m not missing anything either.

Other people will have other priorities or preferences when it comes to their devices. Use whatever tickles your pickle.

That’s good, choose what you’re comfortable with and what works for you. Everyone should do just that. We all have our own needs, priorities and threat models.

As I’ve said, I do like GrapheneOS, it is solid software in my opinion, but the humans behind it make me more paranoid than Samsung devices.

You are making too much sense. You need to choose a side or both communities will hate you.
