It's definitely better than Lineage, since Lineage is the least private and secure out of all "degoogled" ROMs. However, it isn't as good as Graphene.

CalyxOS recently went almost 4 months without shipping Chromium (including WebView) and Android security updates. CalyxOS is not "degoogled" and uses multiple Google services by default without an opt-out. Look at their documentation. It also has privileged Google service integration enabled by default. If using Google services is considered "degoogled", what does it mean? Not having Google Play as part of the OS? They do have a reimplementation of a small subset of it using Google's services and it's specially privileged.

Yes, I'm aware that Calyx isn't degoogled and neither is Lineage, that's why I wrote "degoogled" in quotation marks. And I also know about lack of security updates in Calyx, but it's still better than Lineage lol
