I’m looking to acquire or set up a Wi-Fi only tablet that is focused on privacy. I’ve been starting to do some research among the potential OS options and I wanted to ask this community whether it is better to go with LineageOS or /e/ OS for it, or potentially another option. I’ve tried additional software on other devices that at least help make them more private, but I really want to set something up that is truly private using a tablet.

Edit: I’m also considering Pixel Tablet + GrapheneOS

    Noted, thank you for that insight.

    I’m going to consider the Pixel Tablet and GrapheneOS as well.

      Clearly your question was honest and well intentioned, but without meaning to, you’ve stumbled into what must be one of the most pointless and mean spirited online security debates. That is the online wars between GOS, /e/ and LineageOS supporters - although to be fair, that is mostly hate coming from the GOS camp to everyone else.

      ANY of the 3 - GOS, /e/ or LineageOS is LIGHT YEARS ahead of stock Android for privacy. Each have their pros and cons - what’s best for YOU depends on your own personal situation (TARA model).

        I’m definitely framing it that way and I was mainly looking to use insight from others in addition to the research I’m doing.

        I wasn’t aware that the rivalry could be so nasty between all three.

        Thanks for your input.
