I've heard people recommend Raccoon in the past but my phone is something so vital that makes me worried about stuff breaking (the combination of using a lot of 3rd party parts like MicroG, Racoon, apkmirror, ...).

I wonder if it's possible to dual boot without root and also keeping encryption on, that way I can have a safe option if anything breaks.

Damn, why is it so hard to have control over your things these days. It wears me down.
