alt Hacker NewsGrapheneOS actually feels just like LineageOS, except that it has faster upstream updates, better security, and greater usability...
I don't understand why it took LineageOS so long to update to AOSP 17, while GrapheneOS managed to update to 17 in just 3 days. LineageOS really should be based directly on GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOs is limited to some specific devices, LOS is all about supporting as much hardware as possible. Theybhave different target

GrapheneOS does not have circle battery.

What would that achieve?
GOS => security, usability
LOS => most security, most usability, breadth of support

Here's a hint: GrapheneOS has paid developers working on it full-time, while LineageOS is done by people in their spare time. Also, GrapheneOS has a collaboration with Motorola and through that gets for instance early access to security patches, and probably other things as well. And lastly, LineageOS supports roughly 10x the number of devices. It's significantly easier if you restrict yourself to Pixels.
