I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    And you think degoogling offers no obvious benefits in terms of privacy?

      I do. I think its a bit overblown as none of these operating systems are completely degoogled.

      I think its much better to focus on things like not having apps with privileged access this includes, a lot of peoples go to play services replacement, MicroG.

        I can empirically say, that just switching from stock to a degoogled ROM gave me a significant battery boost. I have no idea what that thing was doing in the background, but it’s already doing a lot less of that.

        For microG… Until UnifiedPush becomes more widespread the choice between having your notifications go through FCM and halving your battery life is going to be a tricky one.
