There are several aftermarket OSs that work on the Pixel 4. LineageOS is one of those. You might consider going that route if you want to sustain your hardware.

But are they secure though? AFAIK Google doesn't support the Pixels longer because Qualcom doesn't offer security updates for its chips.


Does that happen at the firmware level or the driver level? It seems Qualcomm devices are pretty actively developed in the Linux kernel?

I found Linaro, which claims to be doing work on Qualcomm devices: https://www.linaro.org/blog/highlights-from-linaro-connect-o...
