No, not really. This is not a real alternative. Google will still try to kill alternative ROMs and it's just a matter of time before GrapheneOS will no longer be maintainable. A push for true Linux mobile OS is needed. Time is running out.

They're partnering with Motorola

Won't help them much when Google makes Android closed sourced and hides security fixes from them.

People can donate to all of these things if they wish - I dont see why GrapheneOS can't also be given funds even just for the work that they're doing currently.

Sure, you can donate. I'm just saying it's not a good solution to the problem at hand. But it's a good solution to other problems and it will work short term.
