    As far as I know, it is still reliant on the whims of Google through shenanigans with AOSP, and of course having to use a Pixel.

    Linux offers a more solid and independent foundation, and while it is less polished yet, to me it's the only real way out in the long run.

    Still, GrapheneOS is a big step in the right direction - hope it wouldn't come across as me being against the project.

    They've signed with an OEM (still secret atm, but the best guess seems to be Motorola?) who will produce the first flagship GrapheneOS device sometime this or next year iirc. Supposed to be revealing the manufacturer next month. That'll at least take some of the Google dependency by having to use Pixels.
