    LineageOS is fine on non-Pixel phones. Some versions even support SELinux Enforcing, OTA updates and a relockable Bootloader.

    I hope they will use many GrapheneOS features like:

    • hardened kernel and malloc
    • sandboxed Play services instead of the insanely insecure microg
    • Vanadium Webview, Browser and PDF viewer
    • Auditor, Camera, etc.

    While LineageOS may have some security and privacy features, it is not a privacy- and security-focused operating system for phones like GrapheneOS, nor does it have nearly as many security enhancements or privacy considerations like Graphene.
