I used Lineage OS for MicroG and it's by far the best experience I've had so far. Now I'm using a custom ROM supporting signature spoofing (because my new phone doesn't get official Lineage builds) and there are some issues and it was a lot more work (especially learning about signature spoofing itself is just too hard).

Lineage OS for MicroG: Absolutely recommended.

MicroG even supports the bluetooth contact tracing protocol used by the Corona-Warn-App, by the way.




As someone with more money than time, if I buy an e smartphone, will it Just Work and be usable?

Or am I setting myself up for a world of hurt?

They're not expensive either! I figured I'd be paying an arm and a leg.


Fairphones definitely has first class support for LineageOS due to it's open nature. You can always check the support page of these ROMs.
