i ain't gonna lie I really hate phones. I want those mega chonkster late 1980s-90s phones that can just take calls and texts. if I can carry that and a designated device (not a phone) for my company's MFA app, I would be a much happier person.

no I'm not trying to sound like a boomer or anything, I genuinely hate how every piece of modern technology has such annoying inconveniences and I end up using like 3 features of a phone even though I bought the newest flagship.

like I have a Pixel 6, bought a Pixel 6 Pro but it killed itself beyond repair, a Pixel 5, an iPhone 12, had an iPhone XR, and have an Apple Watch SE. I stopped using my Apple Watch because it became useless overtime, I hate how Pixel 6 stock OS works and I don't want to run-

a janky custom OS or some insanely insecure trash, and I only listen to music on my iPhone and answer calls and texts. like why am I even bothering with flagship crap when I use like 4 basic features: listen to music, answer calls and texts, and browse the internet sometimes.

You're recommending a highly insecure OS missing the August and September Android security patches. Look at their announcements for those. They only shipped a subset of the open source patches. They're a month behind on Chromium security patches too. It's very harmful advice.

Would also really not refer to having a very unstable and unreliable OS with a largely broken approach to Google Play compatibility as being slick. The main issue is that they're giving users an OS without privacy and security while pretending otherwise with dishonest marketing.

You're always using Google services on CalyxOS. There's no way to avoid them. Not using microG doesn't mean you aren't using Google services. FCM support is far from the only thing that's very broken in microG. It implements a tiny subset of Play services poorly and insecurely.
