From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are there any actual "GraphineOS" devices currently for sale anywhere?
(I know Motorola has some plans to roll out GraphineOS phones in the future, but this would probably complicate those plans if GraphineOS really prohibits Motorola from complying with laws.)
Outside of buying a supported Pixel device and flashing it yourself? Not that I'm aware of.
I was wondering the same. I have an extremely old Android that's dying, and as soon as it does I'll look for devices ~~with~~ that can run GrapheneOS. As @Unreliable@lemmy.ml says, it seems Pixel is the only one for now, and possibly one needs a slightly older model as well. That's what I'll look for.
Per their website, everything in the Pixel line apart from the 10a is supported. They will be supported as long as firmware and security patches are available. https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices
10a is supported, but flagged experimental:

What's the issue with the 10a?
Super!
Pixel isn't sold with GraphineOS. You have to install it yourself.
actually, some websites do sell pixels with grapheneos preinstalled, for example, https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/category/smartphone-tablet-4
1000% do NOT do that! the installation process is simple enough, why would you trust a random third party
Nitrokey is legit. But still, installing GrapheneOS is super easy and used hardware so cheap, you may as well just install it.
this service exists mostly for people who can't purchase a pixel directly. nitrokey ships internationally
Didn't know this, thanks for the info!
Absolutely true, I was sloppy in my writing. Edited.
