Also LineageOS isn't a complete OS. It's an adaptation of Android and thus has many of the same problems and depends on Android updates. It's almost pointless.

On March 5 2024, LineageOS has posted a blog to announce the deprecation of version 18.1 shortly after Google has ended the security patch update for Android 11.[38][39] A total of 52 devices were dropped and received a final build on that day.

Features
Like its predecessor, CyanogenMod, LineageOS is perceived as free from unnecessary software often pre-installed by a phone's manufacturer or carrier that is considered to be bloatware.

EU is going to stop that on Android.
I struggled to see the point of CyanogenMod and there seems little value to LineageOS, especially given the difficulty of installing it.

Not a fan of Android. A lot from 4.x to 13 seems to be Google fiddling with often little benefit to the user. LineageOS isn't an OS in the sense of iOS, MacOS, Linux, RiscOS, Android, Windows or OS/2. It's just a custom Android.
Eink devices already have custom versions of Android, otherwise they'd be worse to use and rarely have bloatware and no Carrier imposed apps.
