Oh ok then. If it has a vanilla version then it is degoogled and can be more degoogled than LOS. What I meant was if GOS was microg only, it couldn't be as degoogled as LOS because LOS is vanilla. Still it's a shame that LOS can't find a better supporter than Google.

This is about to change since LOS are about to include MicroG by default in future releases.. Or so I heard from some Mastodon users who shared screenshots about an LOS update that installed MicroG

GOS is private and secure more than any other ROM, but once you install the Unprivileged play store you lose some of that privacy while retaining security, MicroG is private but not as secure

Still it's a shame that LOS can't find a better supporter than Google

Wdym?

Should I bet all my savings this isn't gonna happen? Just don't trust unverified rumors and never ever spread them as the truth.

more than any other ROM

ROMs without network support.

Wdym?

I believe LOS uses Google stuff because they get money for doing it, especially for making it the default search engine in the default browser.

How did you know it's not the truth...because I implied it wasn't.. and I don't see it as something that couldn't happen, people asked for MicroG support for years..

I'm not a huge fan of trolling

because they get money for doing it,

I can tell you no Open source ROM gets funds by Google, unless if it's a program... For example GOS received many rewards for discovering vulnerabilities in AOSP

Sorry but this sounds like you're defending yourself because you know you spread rumors or maybe even complete misinformation.

There was no trolling. You said it's the best ROM for security. I told you of a better one. Saying "best ROM for security" was more of an act of trolling than my response.

Idk. I heard that Lineage receives money from Google so I said that but, in contrary to you, I didn't say that I'm sure of it. I just said "I believe it's the case".
