Relevant details that might make this a headache.

  • Most my passwords are saved on the safari password manager and I use the “sign in with apple” on a bunch of websites
  • My photo library is currently backed with an icloud subscription

I went the /e/os way and quickly turned back. Not to dismiss the effort of the maintainers, but it really felt like a frontend on lineage os meant to sell alternative cloud services. I did not find convincing arguments over a bare lineage os and the pretty much forced /e/ cloud was a total turn off.

I went the "real" security / privacy way and switched to grapheneos. Very happy overall, already went thought with 2 major os updates, no issues whatsoever. Only issue would be if you want Google pay (won't work on graphene). You'd need a pixel phone if that's in your budget. The pixel phones are great at photos, but pretty "meh" otherwise

Thanks. I’ll look into lineage and graphene.
