A few days ago we brought you word that Google was looking to crack down on “sideloaded” Android applications. That is, software packages installed from outside of the mobile operating …
I’ll also add: after DivestOS died, I got a Pixel to run GrapheneOS.
So I’ve tried that too, and it’s the best by far.
The reason for disliking LineageOS is its dependence on Aurora Store (Google Play mirror).
Maybe it has gotten better over the past year, but it was always quite buggy. Some apps wouldn’t install from Aurora, others weren’t found, it was a pain in the ass.
/e/OS uses a different app store (which is also a mirror) but tends to work much better.
Neat.

Huh, using aurora for a few apps that aren’t foss, didn’t know there are any issues with it. I’m impressed how crisp it is.
I suppose it depends on which apps you’re trying to grab.
