opinion on lineageos?
First: I run LineageOS on my S5.
With that said: With market share of less than 3 million out of the billions of Android devices sold I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter how good Lineageos is in this discussion.
How many different devices are officially supported by Lineageos? 150? How many different devices have official LineageOS support offered by the hardware vendors?
My point is that LineageOS is not an alternative if I'm not an enthusiast or I'm not willing to risk getting into a heated discussion about warranty if my device breaks.
Furthermore, since not even Google release open source drivers for their devices there is only so much LineageOS can do when the hardware vendors decides a certain Android version is the last version supported on a device.
So just because I can put together my own version of privacy first Android it doesn't mean I can actually run it on my device.
there's also graphene and a few others or linux phones I guess
