#2Sadly it has turned its open source license into a code available but non-free one.
That, coupled with the fact that Pixel devices are way more expensive than Nexus used to be limits its usefulness.

OP here. I actually liked the pointers to F-Droid apps, too. I'm on LineageOS. I've used F-Droid for years but mainly for things like Adaway. Timber and notes apps look interesting, also K-9 of course.

I use that but it's all Google based. Not sure if you can decouple it from Play Services without breaking everything.

You can with microG, which even provides preconfigured builds with microG instead of Play Services - https://lineage.microg.org/

#7its very easy to just not install google play services on any non-stock rom. there doesn't seem to be much that is 'security-focused' about copperhead besides that decision.... i would definitely recommend lineage over this, as it has a much larger development community & works on a much wider range of devices

#8> do think it will happen, however. The use case involves corporations, especially those involved in privacy sensitive fields such as health care. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a locked down “business” VM that is separate from a “personal” VM with your Facebook, games and private stuff on it.
This already exists for businesses with Samsung Knox / Android for Business. No it's not a full OS but it fits all of their needs and separates data. Having one OS in a "vm" on a phone sounds horrible UX wise.

Are you using Lineage OS on a Pixel? I don't seem to be able to find that on the LineageOS website.
