I myself use GrapheneOS. It's an open source OS based on the Android Open Source Project. It focuses on privacy and security while aiming to also achieve the usability level of mainstream OSes like PixelOS. In contrast to many other Android-based open source projects, GrapheneOS is a highly technical project focused on substance. It doesn't mismarket itself and doesn't focus on gimmicks or features that are easily circumvented. The basis is rigorous security research and engineering.
I've seen some people recommend non-Android based Linux OSes in the thread (postmarket, sailfish ...). Note that those OSes, which try to use the traditional desktop Linux technology stacks, are a drastic step backwards for security and privacy compared to modern mobile OSes like Android and iOS. Those technology stacks heavily use memory-unsafe programming languages (which often contribute to security vulnerabilities) and don't have a sane security model with a mandatory app sandbox and accompanying permission control.
