I am currently running Graphene OS and I am very happy with it, but I am not so happy with my Pixel phone. I am wanting to switch hardware that Graphene does not support.
Would I be losing many privacy & security advantages by switching to Lineage?

I agree with all this and will add that, even though what GrapheneOS team is doing is very admirable, the very fact that LOS (and automatically Lineage4microg) runs on hundreds of devices, makes the latter way more useful to a LOT of people (meaning a lot less throwaway tech too), plus not tieing you down to a single hw vendor!
Heck, even an old enough Pixel phone that programmatically loses Graphene’s support, is still almost garanteed support from LOS for many years
In my mind LOS is 95% of the way there, microg 97%, GOS 99%? As far as android goes, they’re all great
This is why I kind of hate ARM. Amd, why on the laptop end, i have no inrention of awitching to ARM anytime soon. The inability of these SOCs to use a generic kernel is just infuriating.
