I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

Is this manageable for the non-dev by chance? I can get by on a tutorial or too but if enough things break I'm feeling a dumbphone alt may be the only viable path

No it's not. Not because of that it's too difficult but it's too much work on a weekly basis just to update your stuff.

I have no rooted phone because I have grapheneos but it should be possible to do it directly on your rooted phone with shizuku et al which wouldn't be that bad.

How's graphene been serving you? I've wanted to take the plunge for a while now and this no side loading bs has me looking into it again

Can just confirm the other comment

GrapheneOS is serving me very well
No problems (currently) with banking apps either

I'm very happy with it - although a real Linux phone would be really cool
