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?

๐Ÿ‘Œ 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.
