From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For my LineageOS phone I use ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camerato get photos I've taken for example.Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don't think it's a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.
OP may need to install ADB and enable USB debugging. Here's a guide if they don't know how

If OP installed GrapheneOS they likely already have adb and USB debugging configured.
That said, as recommended in the FAQ, one should use android-file-transfer, since enabling USB debugging (and using adb) is a security breach
