Graphene is Pixel only and aims for privacy and security.

PMOS aims to bring Linux to the maximum amount of devices (phones, Chromebooks, tablets, QEMU) to give them a life beyond the manufacturer's support.

I would compare PMOS to LineageOS over Graphene.

    Motorola will have a GrapheneOS compatible handset. I use a Pixel 9 Pro with GrapheneOS though, and it works reasonably well.

    It's a PITA to use. You set up different profiles for different uses to separate out app tracking. Turn off Google services when you can. Manage each app. Switch profiles around constantly.

    It's work But... ain't nobody watching you.

    Security. Privacy. Convenience.

    Pick two.
