GrapheneOS’ whole thing is security and privacy. It’s big on sandboxing apps and browser sessions. Google Play and most Android features are opt-in (Google Play Services are also sandboxed). Just check their features.
LineageOS doesn’t have most of the above. It’s mostly just a regular barebones Android distribution without all the vendor bloat, and a great alternative if you just want more control and less BS (if you’ve used a Samsung device you will know what I mean - absolutely horrible distribution imo).
I need an OS for phone which is completely controlled by community.

How does it compare with LineageOS? What are the pros and cons in your opinion?
They are very different.

LineageOS also significantly regresses security compared to barebones AOSP.
