needs to be a full linux based and controlled os base though since graphene is most likely dead in the water as more phone manufacturers make it impossible to unlock the bootloaders.
Linux-based Android build when?
Android is already based on Linux. But in general there are FOSS phone OS’s. GrapheneOS being the dominant player

LineageOS is bigger than Graphene. It’s just not automatically deGoogled.
