To be honest I do not see any reason to use Lineage with Pixel while there is GrapheneOS… But maybe there will be some users of it: it is always better to have more free open OS
The only use case i guess if you prefer microG implementation v sandboxed GPS.
I think GOS model will end up being proven right from security/privacy perspective but the debate is ongoing.
GOS chief should not be in any public facing communication position though… that weaponized autism with heavy dose of paranoia is what is needed to develop GOS but not a good look objectively, and I give people a lot benefit of doubt.
Graphene has a relatively short support, especially given that the phones for it are completwly unaffordable new so it’s effectively shorter than advertised. I am now spoiled by using a device that is not EOL so I think I will be switching when GOS’ support ends.
its alright, it kept my “supposed to be dead” phone to keep on running with latest stuff, i like the built in firewall, but if you’re privicy focused then this is not for you.
I was planning to move to Lineage, and eventually GrapheneOS (non Pixel at the moment) but revolut has broken compatibility by enforcing the use of the Play Integrity API, revolut is my main bank so I’m kinda blocked, for now… 🤬
Not really. Stock OSes are really bad in terms of privacy, maybe with a few exceptions - I wouldn’t be able to trust them with any personal info. Just like Windows. So a custom one is a must.
Anyone using Lineage? How is it?
I’ve got a Pixel 7 and have been wondering

What privacy issues are you talking about?
It’s annoying to upgrade between whole number android versions.

Upgrading android versions did a surprise factory reset for me. Never used it again after that.
Custom Roms are only viable if official android support has dropped and you are no longer getting upgrades.
