    The only way I was able to get continued OS support and updates was by going the way of installing custom ROMs, which is absolutely not ideal. It’s also the only reason my backup Nexus 5 is still kicking.

      I was mostly referring to update timeliness, but yeah, continued support is an issue. Google only promises 3 years of major releases for Pixels. The Nexus was even worse.

      Still a far stretch from Apple, who’s usually going 5 or 6 years of major OS releases, and then security updates on top of that.
