Murena is in the business of deGoogling Android smartphones in the name of privacy. The French/European firm has been doing this for around five years, as We recently got our hands on a Fairphone 4 running Murena's tracker-blocking /e/OS. Our curiosity was piqued to see an alternative OS running on alt hardware. Step in for a closer look...
Lineage OS by default comes DeGoogled and works just fine. Both phones I ran it on had absolutely no issues. It must be more niche than I thought though because no one here is talking about it.
I have Lineage installed on an older phone. I think it gets less attention than it might otherwise because for the average user, the install process is a pain in the memory space.
Yeah, I was messing with it the other day, trying to get it running on a Galaxy Tab. Process was… not really working well. Contrast with GrapheneOS, which is surprisingly easy to install, even on Linux.

The supported list of devices is a who’s who of 2015. Finding anything more modern is reminiscent of digging through XDA back in the modding day.

That’s just not true, the latest pixels are officially supported. LineageOS is by far the Android custom ROM with the largest compatibility set.
That good to hear because last time I looked a couple of years ago it was a poor list. The devices supported without issue list was pretty small.
Actually, this isn’t exactly a great list is it:
