The #grapheneos IRC/Matrix channel is largely a place to help people debug issues with their USB cables, ports and OS drivers. I'm convinced that most things with USB-C are broken. People have trouble believing that the brand new cable they got from Amazon is the problem though.

how is it that other ROMs like lineageos doesn't have USB issues?

The broken cables, ports, etc. don't work any better for flashing the stock OS. It's not anything to do with GrapheneOS specifically. It's not something specific to flashing GrapheneOS either. It's an issue with the USB-C ecosystem in general. It's all around terrible / broken.
I plan on researching charging more on linux/android devices, but is there anything that's needed in software to make charging work, or that's just extra for stats/control?
I mess around with /sys to disable charging to prevent battery wear.
