    That’s just the same support window that google provides for the pixels though

      It is. And that’s why its the best choice to run GrapheneOS, you get full 7 year support in a non Google OS. Other OSs exist but Graphene is on par with the major player

        My point being that they only provide a long support window because that’s how long the manufacturer provides firmware and driver support for. They do offer a few extra updates for older unsupported devices but:

        We provide extended support releases as a stopgap for users to transition to the far more secure current generation devices.

          But lineageOS or /e/OS may not provide the 7 years for pixel. Because it is still effort to maintain an offshoot even if you have source code.
