New phone, new OS? Lineage/microG or Iodé? (leminal.space)

On my new phone I'm tempted to switch from LineageOS for microG to IodéOS, just for the ease of a dedicated installer. What are your experiences of pros and cons?

Bonus question, while I prefer full control of my phone, Iodé lists "uninstallable apps" as a feature(?) — what in the world are those?

No app is completely uninstallable. But the one app in Iodé that can't at least be uninstalled via system settings is the Iodé tracking protection.

Iodé is considered one of the more secure custom ROMs and friends of mine and me are quite happy with it (running on a Terracube 2e, a Fairphone 3, and a Fairphone 4).

That's the kind of reassurance I needed to go ahead. Thanks!
