Their phones are sold in the USA through Murena. I've bought a fairphone 4 through them. It was preloaded with eOS but I loaded calyxOS on it, which is similar to GrapheneOS.

It also supports a lot of linux distributions, including UBPorts and postmarketOS.

I wish that they would just stick with one form factor and do the "framework computer" approach though.

calyxOS is _not_ similar to GrapheneOS

It’s similar in some ways, like being de-Googled, more private than Google’s Android OS by default, etc. Both are based on AOSP. They are “similar.”
