I currently use an iPhone 8 Plus, but I’ll be switching to Android soon and I of course want to degoogle it. Is GrapheneOS a good pick over something like Lineage (or anything else)?
Edit: Also, is there support for mainstream apps and services? Most of them aren’t privacy friendly, but I need to use them for contact with people (e.g. Discord, ability to print, gmail, etc.)

GrapheneOS is the best as it severely degoggles and is best at security and privacy. It only uses Google Pixel phones that are not sold through carriers. LineageOS degoogles but is lax on security, especially that it doesn’t lock boot. It is an oxymoron to say you want to degoogle and than add microG. With GrapheneOS you’ll start with just the basic phone functions and they are all secured, from there you can go to Fdroid and download more and I suggest looking at Simple Mobile suite of apps in fdroid. OsmAnd~ is an actual fdroid open source turn by turn map/guidance app.
