  • I know this wasn’t directed at me, but I use a Pixel + GOS

    Pro: I keep my bootloader locked and just hit a button for updates.

    On LOS, you could go through some kind of relocking process each time, but updates are pretty darn frequent. As a result I ran around with an unlocked phone… Which is honestly stupid.

    Con: It’s really not a cheap route. New features on GOS like android auto require you to have a fairly newer pixel. They do drop out support as time goes along too. If you get a pixel 7 or 8 now you can expect something like 7 years support. What I’m saying is, if you get some Pixel 5 today, you aren’t getting all the updates…

    Also android auto disconnects somewhat frequently while I drive. I can’t blame GOS entirely, android auto is a weird app, and aspects of it are head unit dependent… But my LOS experience was flawless.
