For real tho, it is, but it doesn’t include any google services, which is why any apps requiring them won’t work on graphene unless you make use of their compatibility layer, which is still significantly less of a privacy problem than the original one.
Unless linux phones become useable, android without google services is the most privacy respecting option you have available.
GrapheneOS is Android
De-googled android
No really? Crazyyyyyyyyyy.

Your original comment was such a non-sequitor that I thought it necessary to clarify. Because an exchange that is roughly summarised as
“I don’t want Android [or Google]”
“OK, use Android [on a Google phone]”
Does not really make much sense without additional context. Thanks for adding that context.
