LineageOS is a bad idea as far as security is comcerned since it doesn't even support relocking the bootloader which is required for secure boot. Strongly recommend GrapheneOS instead. Sadly only works on Pixel phones but what can you do, they're the only phones whose hardware security features are available for alternative operating systems. Get a used one to avoid supporting Google.
You can relock your bootloader with CalyxOS on a Fairphone, a Dutch phone company.
Still far inferior to Graphene as far as security is concerned.
So it solves the one thing you bring up as a security flaw, but still it is "far inferior" without any additional explanation? Talk about moving the goal post. I don't know sufficiently about phone security to know whether that is true or not, but in these weird battles between custom OSes, I often see these claims thrown around by faithful followers without anything to back it up.
interesting thx
