"I was watching youtube(Invidious) and notied RestlessOS . Have you heard of this and are there people actually tried this on non-pixel phone?

"RestlessOS is an unofficial, unaffiliated fork of GrapheneOS packaged as a Generic System Image (GSI) for Project Treble devices. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way connected to the GrapheneOS project or its developers."

I'm very hesitant to give money to Google pixel so I'm going to experiment on this one."

How is one unknown maintainer of a project that adds nothing to the one it forked from, better than many well-known LineageOS maintainers?

it adds nothing? maybe it only adds wider compatibility to upstream, but it makes upstream's unique features available to owners of other phones than upstream's short device list
