Graphene OS is working well for me and installation was pretty straightforward. As people have said, though, it needs access to the bootloader.

    And a Pixel - the only device it currently runs on (not a criticism, it's because Pixel is the only device with a TPM).

    Lineage runs on a lot more phones. It's nit as secure as Graphene, but arguably more secure than what a phone ships with.

    Yep. Unfortunately, Graphene requires further investment in google products. Buy used/refurbished! Or go with Lineage.

    I'd say its as secure but not as private as Graphene.

    I think you are mixing up the two terms.

    Lineage OS is way less secure than Graphene OS. Lineage OS doesn't even officially support Re-Locking of bootloader under custom keys, so it could be easily tampered with, and they also lack all the hardening that Graphene OS have.
