Is this as safe as installing Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid seperately? I am thinking to finally make the jump away from Android (and preferrably all of Google) and this looks like a really really handy solution. Perhaps too handy, if you get my drift. Is this a legit project or is it just a wrapper to send all my data to Tel Aviv?

With enough time and coffee I think I could eventually manage to install Lineage OS, microG, and F-Droid individually but LineageOS for microG seems to have it all wrapped in a bow for me.

TIA!

      Take the L and keep going.

      This is solid advice.

      I still don’t get it though, and I’m sure there’s a lot of terminology I don’t know yet about custom ROMs so maybe that’s where the misunderstanding lies. Are you telling me that LineageOS is the same operating system as the Android I already have on my phone? No, right?

      I feel like this is like saying “I’m going to delete Ubuntu off my laptop and install Pop!_OS” and someone comes along and says “akshully POP!_OS is Ubuntu!” or saying they’re both Debian or something.
