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?

What about de-googled android? Is that private/secure?

I found the following website to be a definitive source for comparisons of all sorts, including this one:

Too bad it's hosted on Microsoft's GitHub. Wish open source proponents would stick to open source solutions

Yeah Fairphones all are fair and whatnot until you find out their software isn’t fair and they don’t give a shit about managing security properly nor collaborating with others such as GrapheneOS.
