Basically are there any decent de-googled phone OS that is good/decent for a folding phone?

I've heard running a different OS on. Samsung phone can be problematic since it triggers Samsung Knox

Damn i guess what I'll do for now is de-google the most i can with the apps/services I use and then going for a non-folding pixel for my next phone

Why a non-folding Pixel? Did you end up not liking having a foldable?

I am not criticizing the decision, just curious. I have never even used a foldable.

Don't get me wrong I love my folding phone.

I haven't done any research, but the OS (One UI from Samsung, in this case) has a lot of tweaks to make sure everything works seamlessly and smoothly with the larger screen.

I'm just assuming that the de-googled OSes probably don't play nice with the larger screen, especially while opening and closing the phone.

Full disclosure, I have not tried graphene (I have a pixel 8 on the way that I will be flashing), but they do support the pixel fold and pixel 9 pro fold (silly name).
