I'd like to hear your experience with Lineage OS in c/android@programming.dev

You shouldn't have any issues, no. I've been able to use Google Maps myself since alternatives are garbage, but I don't see any reason the other cloud services wouldn't work

So here https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ you'd follow whatever steps for your device, but what I did for mine was replace the official OS files with the files from here https://download.lineage.microg.org/.

Edit: I typically wouldn't recommend GApps unless you really, really like deep Google integration. From my understanding GApps basically turns Lineage into stock android but with a newer android ver, while MicroG is faux google that pretends google play services exists for those apps that require it (I don't think there's too many that don't just expect a non-rooted device)

Honestly I switched to Lineage a few months ago for the same reason, and so long as you install gapps (iirc that's the spelling lol) properly or the microG signed builds (on my device I was able to find the lineageOS build with microG integrated) you shouldnt run into any problems.

I didn't use gapps so my install uses the Aurora client for google play apps, which some apps just won't download at times but generally I've been able to do everything I would reasonably expect a stock android device to do

Completely untrustworthy because LLMs were used, and you probably don't know how to fix any bugs as they arise. You can't say you made anything if ChatGPT or Claude makes it for you. Source code means zilch if the maintainer doesn't even know how the software works!

I just started reading Killing in War by Jeff McMahan, and while it's a really difficult read, his views on liability to be attacked in a war are really interesting. I'd recommend if you're interested in ethics and morality to check it out!
