Big plus, GOS comes with zero bloatware and Google Services is completely optional.

QOL? I don’t care about the clock font. Can you set individual internet access for apps on a pixel android? GOS has many other features that pixel android doesn’t.

Look and feelwise it is basically stock android but with extra privacy and security features added. You can go completely google free or install their services in a sanbox with no special privileges. What are you using right now? And what is your goal?

I would block the internet connection in your firewall settings so you won’t get an upgrade if that is a bug.

Private phone with GrapheneOS and an iPad with banking apps etc. works well for me.

If we’re talking top 10 charts music (Taylor Swift, Rihanna etc.) I’d say Billie Eilish cause she’s probably the only one who writes and records songs on her own as far as I know.
