I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

    It’s relatively easily possible to emulate android on your PC. Install “android studio”, which then allows you to create android virtual devices. However, I don’t know how to get custom system images on there, this could be more work, which you’ll have to find out yourself.

      Sadly that isn’t so simple for grapheneOS, at the point your only option is compiling it yourself which I forgot exactly how much space you need but it was in the ball park of like 200-250Gb
