So, I’m looking to maybe possibly use a more secure OS for my phone, and I’m torn between these two. I’m mainly looking at Privacy for my main concern, though security never hurts obviously, and also app compatibility and ease of use. I’m also considering a Fairphone for my next phone down the line, and I’d probably have to go with /e/OS for that, so would it be worth it to just go with that now? Or change later?

👌 Second this. Owning a Pixel grants more options, just stick to whatever you’re more comfortable with. But don’t pay attention to anything anyone linked to GrapheneOS says on social media or forums. They’re very toxic, constantly defame other projects and never accept feedback. You’ve got a decent comparison on Eylenburg’s site. I’d go for Graphene on Pixels but going through all the new settings might be too much for some people who will feel more at home using any of the other options. CalyxOS will be out of service for presumably six months though.
Perhaps you should note that the comparison on Eylenburg’s website is not independent. The GOS developers are the only ones of the ROMs shown who regularly actively involved themselves in the comparison, hence features of other ROMs get rarely added: https://federation.network/notes/abj9kh37jzq800dg

iodéOS is in no mean a Richard Stallman view OS, just look at the business model of iodé, freemium…
I use calyxos btw. The only thing I can complain about is their default wallpaper. I do like how you can choosr which apps you want during the setup, but sadly chromium will always be installed :(

Yeah but they could add it to the menu where you chose what apps to install, so I can decide not to have it(they could also add a warning if you don’t have any browser).
I used e years ago, back when CyanogenMod was still strong and thriving, and I thoroughly enjoyed it (though it was largely incomplete). I’ve been using CalyxOS for several years now, because Pixel 4 XL was supported for at least another year and GrapheneOS ended support that year. I kept with CalyxOS, because it worked well, and my security posture doesn’t require NSA-level security (getting it that high, requires giving up some conveniences). Honestly, I recommend trying each one for a few weeks, then deciding which one to stick with.
