I am interested in installing a de-googled android on my phone, but I would like to try it out a little bit first. Is there some way to emulate a phone on my PC, or is there anything like dual booting on phones?

This really is the 1 thing stopping me from switching over now. I got a google pixel only a few months ago and don’t want to have to completely reinstall everything AGAIN already. I wouldn’t mind if I had 2 phones so always have a working one, but having to change everything on my 1 phone right now just feels too risky.
Do it now rather than waiting even longer and amassing even more personal data on device
Any data that’s on it is in a private cloud (infomaniak/filen) so that’s not the issue.
Its reinstalling everything, setting it all up, personalising it, etc.
I use this thing a lot and need it for work, so not being able to have a backup that I can use in case it takes longer than expected is a no-go for me.
I don’t get your context. Why do you have to reset your phone randomly?
To install a de-googled android version
Okay. But again, for context. Why? Buy an iPhone or something lol. Google owns android, and any open source software would run like ass
Android is already open source. And third-party firmware runs just fine.
I will never ever return to iPhones that was a horrible 1.5 years
Also I’m very pro [email protected] / [email protected] so totally not looking at US based alternatives
