The default is Fairphone OS. It is Google Android but they don't pay to license the name 'Android', so they have to use an alternative name.
You can install /e/OS (even preinstalled by Murena) or DivestOS. Any other option doesn't make sense as Divest is best in terms of security and privacy among all available custom roms and /e/ is most convenient (good but not perfect privacy, bad security but with MicroG, relock and App Lounge as well as Murena Cloud)
X doubt
~~I have never heard of Divest before~~
Never mind, I've actually found the link to divestos.org in my browsing history, I've just forgotten about it.
DivestOS is pretty awesome. It allows for bootloader locking, which Lineage can't do IIRC and it runs very fast on my Pixel 2 xl.
