If you don't mind me asking, what made you make the switch and what notable differences did you notice?

The final straw was my banking app stopped working on Graphene and I was getting more and more curious about MicroG.

I find Calyx to be a more complete OS with apps generally being more modernised. The search bar in the app page of Graphene for example has always been a bit buggy and most the default apps look like they haven't seen an update since KitKat.

I also found app compatibility seemed better with MicroG than sandboxed Google Play despite the claims that Graphene would always have better compatibility.
