Non sequitur?

GOS is not running a flavour of mainline Linux, but Android. They're nevertheless planning on moving to virtualisation as well https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24154-grapheneoss-roadmap-r...

For now it's as good as it gets.

Linux doesn't mean systemd, GNU coreutils, glibc, GCC, GNU binutils, GNOME, etc. GrapheneOS is a Linux distribution and supports the Linux 6.1, 6.6 or 6.12 LTS branches. 6.12 is the latest LTS branch. Using Linux is a pragmatic thing, not a positive one for privacy or security. A huge monolithic kernel written in C is not the future for a highly secure OS. Moving away from the Linux kernel is important. QubesOS exists as a workaround for the insecurity of Linux. If the OS was using a highly secure microkernel in the first place, their hardware virtualization approach wouldn't be needed.
