Does anyone know how /e/os compares to graphene os for privacy? I am thinking of getting a murena fairphone which comes with /e/os but supports custom OSs and am leaning towards graphene, but don’t know much about e.

I stopped using /e/OS last year and switched to CalyxOS.
The problem I had comes probably from the fact that /e/ tries to cover as many phones as possible (almost 230 as of now) without having a big enough testing pool, so stuff would break constantly even on the “officially supported” devices. And when you pointed out your problem on their forum, the answer you met was frequently something like “the problem is in your phone model, we can’t do a lot about it”.
Calyx instead supports only Pixel phones and a couple others, including the FP4, it’s always tested for good (they have both a stable and a beta branch you can easily switch between) and their android and microG versions are usually more up to date.
Oh, and the Calyx community is one on the nicest and most helpful on the planet
