Lineage OS is really great, I recommend the forked version with MicroG bundled to use google apps.
40 1 ReplyDepends on how pure you want to be. If you are a purest, that is a bad thing to do.
14 2 ReplyWell yes you are right, but being completely pure is borderline impossible IMO, and most people transition slowly.
6 0 ReplyTrue. I have been using Lineage with no gapps package for a bit over 4 years now. I no longer even have a google account as of almost 2 years ago.

I want to move away from GSF, how is MicroG working nowadays? I used it some years ago but it was buggy with any app related to mapping, and some other quirks.
2 0 ReplyIt works perfectly in my case can't say for others. You should check their issues page in github about your device.
2 0 ReplyWorks perfectly fine for me. I've also used an app that used Google Maps in it and it worked perfectly fine. Instead of Google Maps it displayed the map on OpenStreetMap.

Or, just skip that step altogether
3 2 ReplyIf you aren't sure if you can fully degoogle then it a great offer. Unfortunately many apps depend on GSF so its understandable.

Is it equal to a regular android? Will the usual banking apps work on it, for example?
1 0 ReplyThey work in the browser;)
For now
6 0 ReplyThe Sparkasse (german bank) app works perfectly fine. I use LineageOS with microG and I'm not logged in with a Google account or anything.
1 0 ReplyWith the right Magisk modules I got my banking apps working
1 0 ReplyNowadays with SafetyNet hardware checks it's a dangerous game to rely on that.
1 0 ReplyNo. Banking won't work and you can't lock bootloader. As far as I know there's no Recovery password so someone could just adb and pull data. If you want to use banking apps you could use magisk to pass safety net but that will make your phone less secure. Personally I have no banking app so I don't give a shit
10 10 ReplyBanking apps work for me. And you cant pull data over adb without the password. The data is encrypted by default since a few Android versions
21 0 ReplyIt really depends on the banking app.
And you can always use a browser - Hermit enables you to use a web page that looks much like an app.
6 0 ReplyI think you can configure that some apps can be only accessed by root user while not giving root permissions to a pc usb debugging
