How much of a risk is GraphenOS to install? I really don't wanna brick my phone.

Only for Google Pixel phones. The install process is right there. You just need a chromium-based browser (chrome, edge, vivaldi, opera, brave, etc.), an Unlocked Pixel, and the usb cable.

Also, back up your stuff. Flash Unlocking your phone to install a different OS erases everything on it (for security reasons).

Google stopped releasing sources . Graphene is likely dead

Graphene isn't dead. They just have slowed down a bit. They've already released their first Alpha for 16

I had the same concern so I actually just bought a used newer pixel and started a fresh install of Graphene. It took me several weeks to learn how it works and migrate my accounts and switch to FOSS apps wherever I could.

very low on id say pixel 7 and up its a web installer so all you need is to back up all inlmportant files photos videos ids etc and plug your phone into a computer or another phone running graphene os and follow the guide
