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

Starlabs has the Starlite which runs linux. You could use a distro with Plasma Mobile and get the tablet experience you are looking for.
