I already have a pixel. Is it just as easy as installing Lineage OS on the phone?
Yes, perhaps even easier if you use a Chromium based browser with their WebUSB installer.
Even if it's not the case, I found the console installer to be surprisingly easy.
Absolutely the easiest phone OS installation I've ever done. Completely web-based and easy enough for anyone to use. Even easier than flashing LineageOS.
The big hurdle to GrapheneOS is can you do without Google Wallet and other apps that won't work. The flashing process isn't something to worry about IMO.
