Hi guys I was thinking of installing either Calyx OS or Graphene OS on Pixel 7 I got from secondhand.

Meanwhile I was also wondering which one of these is most private but also best usable; Aurora Store or Google Play Mirror (Graphene OS) or Micro G?

Edit; Thanks for all info guys. I will take it into consideration and probably always first use F-Droid and web apps.

What I can tell u (as a normie) is that a few weeks ago I bought a refurbished google pixel 7, installed Calyx OS (via the web browser installer) with MicroG and I’ve been using f-droid and Aurora Store (without a google account) since then and I haven’t had any issues with any app, for example, the banking ones
