Alternative to GrapheneOS (feddit.org)

Im considering buying a new phone and i don't really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

What makes it special is that you can lock the bootloader again after installing it

I'm not sure why this is considered special. You can also re-lock the bootloader with CalyxOS, iodéOS and DivestOS. This is a Pixel thing, not a GrapheneOS thing.

It's also possible to relock the bootloader on a handful of Motorola and fairphones, at least as part of the Calyx install procedure

Okay, I was not aware of that, so thanks for the information.
