As a die hard paranoid security guru, I want to highlight your point here.
I adore GrapheneOS, but Lineage can be a fast and easy switch for a solid 80% or 90% improvement in privacy for most people.
Absolutely agree. Sure, GrapheneOS is great for us keenos but if you're using an old phone that hasn't had a security update for 4 years then something "not bad" is a huge improvement!
What do you mean pretty short, they provide it for as long as the manufacturer provides firmware updates and then seem to give extended support on top of that!
I guess it's good that we're being spoiled by long update promises now, my Pixel is the first phone I've ever had that even has a support window, previously it's just been "one major update, within a year if you're lucky, and what the fuck is a security patch?"
