I'm looking to acquire or set up a Wi-Fi only tablet that is focused on privacy. I've been starting to do some research among the potential OS options and I wanted to ask this community whether it is better to go with LineageOS or /e/ OS for it, or potentially another option. I've tried additional software on other devices that at least help make them more private, but I really want to set something up that is truly private using a tablet.

Edit: I'm also considering Pixel Tablet + GrapheneOS

I'm really happy with /e/OS and Niagara launcher.

Niagara was my fav for long time, love text launchers,

Olauncher & YAM are nice similar open source alternative with no trackers less permissions on fdroid. :)
