As for GrapheneOS I think the Pixel 8 series is most recommended. MTE was a huge security boost. The staff also says do not get anything lower then a pixel 6 as they are to close to end of life.
GrapheneOS for phone. Multiple user accounts to further isolate apps.
Pi-hole as a recursive dns server with dnssec also using unbound for DoT for home network and IoT devices.
AirVPN for my daily driver devices and windscribe for other devices that may need a vpn.
Proton for E2EE mail and storage. SimpleLogin for alias emails.

Bitwarden for password manager.
For browsers I use Firefox with some settings tweaked or Mullvad (if I'm concerned about fingerprinting).
Totally fair. I'm still a try it before i buy it type when games cost $60+ these days.
