It’s not. It depends on how open the phone is and if it relies on exploits to root or if there’s an official method. Pixels are open and you can just install whatever you want on them, with open source drivers (although Google is trying to stop that too). So to install Graphene, for instance, it’s literally a web app with one or two clicks to do it automatically.
@Snapz @viov Can you really do it? My experience with all Android rooting is that it is always complex and risky.
