Been using Fdroid to the point where my first boot into a new phone is:
Open chrome > download fdroid > open settings > uninstall/disable every single application I can > open fdroid > install all the relevant apps I require for making my phone useful
I'm just waiting for a small life upgrade in order to be able to support some app developers; it will be money better spent than using the standard google apps.
any lineage os supported device is enough, i think
LineageOS isnt degoogled by default
It's a lot better than stock, even though there are still some Google things left over. If you don't install your own GApps, then the Google stuff in Lineage is minimal.
Doesn't take long to De-google it up to 95% or so
