Whatever floats your boat. I'll remain with the latest vendor making custom OS possible.

FYI Pixels still allow flashing custom ROMs, they've just slightly inconvenienced developers.

It's not necessarily about it being possible, but the level of support and refinement.

The future I'm seeing is one in which custom ROMs still exist as hobby projects, but aren't suitable for use in "production".

		In this domain, things change so fast that I decided to just focus on my next phone, or like the following 2-3 years. The future is as bleak for the custom ROMs as is their past. They are aftermarket modifications of the phone software, entirely dependent on the manufacturers and Google, and these release new things yearly. Pixels are a good choice I think because they come with the least amount of bloat, and with Android, the connection to Google is always there anyways.

		You still don't get any better support than with Pixel though. I wish it was different. And I'll be using my Pixel 9 with GOS until its no longer supported (so several more years), and if then there are no viable Android options? Well, so be it, iOS (which i despise but Android with Google pervasive surveillance is unusable. I know, iOS is not much better but at lease is about as secure as gos).
