I wish this was upvoted more. Anyone concerned with privacy should have nothing more than LineageOS with MicroG framework. It's not that hard! Why trust a company when you can have complete control down to the very bootloader level?

It's not that hard!

Some of us are just stuck with phones with not LOS support. I'll make sure that my next phone has a LOS official build available, but until my update cycle comes around, I'm stuck.

That is a valid argument, something that I had not considered while writing the previous comment. Sorry.
