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.

Not sure why GrapheneOS is getting down voted so much here, did I miss something recent that happened?
I've been using GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a for around 2 years and really like it.
If I couldn't use GOS though, I would probably go with DivestOS. I haven't looked deep into other alternative Android ROMs.
I use phones that are at least 5 year old and cost 100€ max. Graphene supports only new pixel phones, so I never got to use it. I put LineageOS with MicroG on every phone and I'm super happy with it.
Fair point, Pixels aren't flagship expensive, but they definitely aren't cheap either.
The reason why GrapheneOS is hated here is because one single user who spreads constantly misinfo about the project.
