Alternative to GrapheneOS (self.privacy)

Im considering buying a new phone and i don't really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

I use MicroG LineageOS which is in my opinion comparable with graphene os and is supported by a lot more devices.

Graphene and Lineage are the most uncomparable custom roms. Have and look at security and privacy and the type of Google Play handling.

See https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm to geht a first idea

MicroG version of lineage. Graphene is obviously way supperior.
