Volla Quintus or GrapheneOS Pixel?

My Android is coming to the end of its life, and I want to use this as an opportunity to migrate away from big tech platforms. I do not want to spend a lot of time managing a successor phone. I want a dual SIM device (physical or eSIM) that works in Japan, and has long update support.

I am trying to decide between two options:
  1. Volla Quintus: I'd like to eventually move to Linux, so the dual-boot VollaOS/Ubuntu Touch is appealing. Being so far away from its support base in Europe seems risky.
  2. GrapheneOS Pixel: this seems less risky (I can buy a Japanese pixel, and GrapheneOS is widely used), but also doesn't advance me as far towards e.g. moving to Linux.
I would be grateful for any thoughts from this list.

I would also be interested to know if there are any compatibility audit tools that could tell me which of my current Android apps will work under e.g. GrapheneOS or VollaOS, or which has Touch implementations or equivalents - or migration tools to help the move off of Google Android.

Vielen Dank!
