       A comparison of #LineageOS, #eOS,  and #GrapheneOS by someone who's used all three. https://kevinboone.me/lineage-eos-graphene.html'Using any replacement firmware will be inconvenient if you’re tied to Google’s services, as many of us are. You can try to continue to use those services, but in a less privacy-crushing way, and Graphene and ∕e∕OS purport to offer some help with that. However, I think you’d need to be both knowledgeable and careful to use Google Services, even in these restrictive environments, without inadvertently sacrificing privacy. To my mind, if you want to de-Google, you have to find replacements for Google, not ways to appease Google.'

       I should add a shout-out to #CalyxOS too. It supports a range of Pixel, Motorola and Fairphones and focuses on privacy and security.
