WHY? I’ve heard a lot that LineageOS cannot be called a private system. That it is more about extending the life of old devices. Can you tell me specifically point by point why it is not private? And I’m sure it’s better than stock phone firmware in terms of privacy.
Unfortunately it is so. And this is a necessity. But I can make this compromise for the sake of working apps/notifications. This is many times better than regular Google services. It will be very cool when someone will make a version of LineageOS with a built-in patch for Sandboxed Google Services, let’s say a fork (like LineageOS for microG). It’ll be awesome news!
If that’s your stance, you don’t need to worry about any of Kuketz’ findings in LOS.
This is true. These articles calmed me down a lot.

microG is difficult to compare to Google Services in terms of features. I know about microG, I use it myself.
