    Big question for me is will they try to put their own “flavor” on Graphene with pre-installed bloat apps?

    I have a backup burner “normie” phone that’s a Motorola with regular Android, and when I got it I had to remove 20+ garbage apps using adb.

      it doesn’t ship with grapheneOS, it just has support for it. I imagine the stock android it ships with will be riddled, though

      That’s an interesting question.

      Fortunately being Graphene you should be able to do what you want. Though the Graphene team is very much anti-unlocked-bootloader.

        Everyone should be anti-unlocked-bootloader - it enables bad things. What manufacturers usually are is anti-unlockable-bootloader.

        All you need really is to unlock, flash your trusted thing and then lock it back up.
