GrapheneOS actually feels just like LineageOS, except that it has faster upstream updates, better security, and greater usability...

I don't understand why it took LineageOS so long to update to AOSP 17, while GrapheneOS managed to update to 17 in just 3 days. LineageOS really should be based directly on GrapheneOS.

GOS => security, usability

LOS => most security, most usability, breadth of support

Actually LineageOS has less usability due to AOSP bugs, no GMS, unlocked boot loader, etc. The weak security is cost of wide support.

GrapheneOS does not have circle battery.

What would that achieve?
