releases on devices with GKI (Generic Kernel Image) support including the 6th
- and 7th generation Pixel phones. At the time of writing on 2022-10-25,
- GrapheneOS is using the latest Linux 5.10 LTS release (5.10.149) from
- 2022-10-17 for 6th and 7th generation Pixel phones. The stock Pixel OS is on
- Linux 5.10.107 from 2022-03-19 with a small number of patches from between
- 2022-03-19 and 2022-08-01 backported. This means GrapheneOS provides hundreds

- the stock OS. It's possible for us to stay several months ahead due to their
