    /e/OS is not for privacy but more for anonymization. It has a built in VPN and a ton of spoofing stuff afaik. It’s closer to Qubes if you ask me. And I heard it had proprietary software so ehh it’s made to make you look like the most average internet user so you can search anonymously. I don’t have enough information about this ROM but I wouldn’t use it on my main device.

        Convenience, proprietary software and because it’s not completely degoogled. I use LineageOS on my device and I’m happy with it. I can use Qubes or a VPN if I want an anonymous search.

            LineageOS actually seems to be getting less degoogled recently. They’re adding stuff for better Google apps support (that can be installed manually). But I believe it’s as degoogled as reasonable custom ROMs get. Not much advanced privacy/anonymization features though and no stuff like Play Integrity support obviously. It’s a ROM for these who don’t need gapps at all. And if you do, just buy a second hand device with the stock ROM and put your banking apps there. Play Integrity doesn’t work well on any custom ROMs now anyways.

            EDIT: also EOS is EndeavourOS that is a Linux distro.
