Wow, good points, thank you. The connectivity checks look like a PIA but in this case (not being a person of interest) it seems reasonable to just keep the phone on LOS.
Isn't PLO the government of Palestina?
These guys have only spoiled rich kid sore loser vibes. And cowards.
Hey thanks for the info. Are you saying that just standard LineageOS without gapps or MicroG will be unable to have a functioning OsmAnd (for example)? I remember a few years ago you had to install Mozilla location services seperately from F-Droid to get OsmAnd to work without Google stuff, but I've personally been out of the loop for a while.
Is LineageOS without GApps basically the same as /e/OS?
I have to update a phone that currently has LOS, and degoogle it at the same time. If I just upgrade to the latest version (by flashing) and not install mind the gapps, is it basically a degoogled phone? It seems that installing /e/ over the current LOS would require me to flash stock rom first, which takes more time. The current LOS version on the phone was just 1 or 2 iterations below the latest version, 20 or 21 I don't remember.
TIA
