In this video, I discuss the experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things. Relevant Links LineageOS: https://lineageos.org/ GrapheneOS: https://grapheneos.org/...
The experience of using a degoogled phone, both from the AOSP and Linux side of things.
Their subreddit.
I use lineageos, the devs have a lot of attitude and repeatedly take issue with people claiming it is degoogled, even without the inclusion of gapps, they state that lineageos is not degoogled.
My main phone is lineage os with gapps, my no sim/wfi only (older) phone is lineageos without gapps, or microg (which I haven’t looked into yet). I only started using lineageos a couple of months ago, which is why their reddit posting is familiar to me.
Gapps is an extra step. The developers state that the os itself is not degoogled, regardless of how many other people say it is.
I assume the devs are correct, but that for most users lineageos is ‘degoogled enough’
Lineage themselves repeatedly state their OS is not degoogled, but using it is definitely much better than using stock android.
Lineage is degoogled…if you don’t install gapps
Lineage devs say otherwise, repeatedly.

It’s literally an optional step in their install guide
