@nixCraft GrapheneOS is less about breaking free and more about setting up a very heavy security focus. Its limitations like only supporting recent Pixel devices are important to bear in mind and make it not really a good default just for anyone trying to get free of Google's control. Kind of like how I wouldn't suggest Arch linux for someone just trying to get off of Windows.LineageOS (and some of the simpler ones based on it like /e/os) might make more sense to push as the "break free" OS. Though one should always remember that all of these are still Android, based on AOSP with various limitations (but at least Google free and open so we have control over our own devices, not a corporation.)
