LineageOS is not “Google-free”. The OS still connects to various Google services by default, even without Google Play Services installed. lineageos.org kuketz-blog.de/lineageos-weder-sicher-noch-datens…

Obviously Graphene OS is the current gold standard for privacy, but you can run a Lineage OS device without Google Play Services, with only free/libre software installation sources, and without the telemetry for those users who can’t or won’t use current GOS. This is obviously a considerable improvement over a Chinese or other commercial manufacturer. But, yes, if you can run GOS rather than LOS, you should.

This pretty much not adressing what I said at all. I use LineageOS myself and it’s miles better than the Stock Operating Systems of most if not all devices they support. But we shouldn’t mislead people, LineageOS is not fully “degoogled” and uses some Google services, even without the Google Play Services installed.

You’re engaging in a strawman. Privacy is not a boolean choice, there are degrees. Making a few connections to some Google servers is not the same as having stock Android.

You seem to be unable to understand simple English, so I’ll end the conversation here.
