From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

/e/ OS is not more secure than lineage. It tends to lag behind on security updates by months.

For privacy, security, and usability, GrapheneOS is the best alternative mobile os by far. The only downsides are if you don't like or can't afford Pixel phones, and even GrapheneOS won't have certain features you may need such as mobile device management, google wallet nfc payments, certain apps especially banking apps.
are you aware of any lists for this like other one you shared?
Banking apps yes

Ah, wasn't aware they were so far behind, thanks for the heads up.
Hadn't heard of IodeOS either until seeing that chart. They also seem a bit slower than Lineage for certain updates, but for the more privacy minded, may be the best option for non-pixel folks.
