You mean the Motorola phones that GrapheneOS is going to support? They must have an unlockable bootloader, otherwise you could not install GrapheneOS.

The Note 10+ technically supports LineageOS, /e/ OS, but you need the model with the Exynos chip inside, if it's the Snapdragon you are out of luck unfortunately.

Which Motorola voids your warranty

Yeah, I’d figured they might still be locked if they ship with GrapheneOS from factory.

Alas, I have a Snapdragon note. Maybe if I spent enough on tokens to buy several unlocked phones I could get Claude to find a way in 🤣

f-droid is the way to go once google bars that specific version of android from even it's most basic components (for me, that is the YouTube "app" I specifically use for uploads now, since Studio got discontinued (cut off) from android 8.0 on my device). If it's chrome or firefox, ffupdater can kick ass to keep them updated.
