Great general info! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Specifically, Graphene and Calyx support a combined total of 12 devices 11 of which are Pixels. Great for those users and it might inform what I buy in the future. Lineage supports tons of devices - great for anyone reading this who doesn't care about the softened security (or doesn't have another choice). Lineage is out for me specifically because my device is old/unpopular enough. /e/ still list support for my device, but I am guessing that since it is based on Lineage it won't get meaningful support either.
It depend, /e/ could still continue to support your device if trees aren't so outdated. Still, check frequently at least the security patch version
Thanks for the distinction. Just for the record and anyone asking the same question - /e/ does still support even though lineage dropped my device.
I recommend you learn about the levels of lunacy I debunked regarding the security theater GrapheneOS and its fanboys have created. https://lemmy.ml/post/73800/comment/66676
The poster above deleted a lot of comments where we had a discussion, a month ago.
Maybe if I am ever looking at graphene I will. As I said it isn't available on my device.
