Hopefully it makes users more curious about alternative, more secure ROMs as LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

Don't run Google's Android. I've been on Lineage OS for years now and it's awesomely stable.
Don't these alt Androids try to be up to date? Or are they purposely slow with merging upstream to avoid these problems, unless it's a security fix?
LineageOS followes the Android versions. There's a LineageOS 20 for Android X, but you can use LineageOS 19 if you want to stay on X-1. It usually takes a few months after Android release for LineageOS to catch up.

#173Pixel owner here. Lately my phone been very slow or acting out. That explains it. Last year or few years ago, Google released update that broke Bluetooth on Pixels. Google's team released the update, broke things, went out for extended Christmas break and fixed things a few months later. I'm not fan of the Apple phones and the fact that they cost a fortune, but I don't recall them putting out hardware breaking update…
Software update broke the (already very bad) fingerprint scanner on my 6a a few updates ago and no fix in sight. It feels like they're just focused on churning out devices and the quality has suffered tremendously. It's death by a thousand cuts and after resisting for a decade I think I'm ready to try jumping to apple.
