Hey, guys. I have a spare Sony 10 IV, which supports Sailfish OS and Lineage OS. I would like to install one of them and have the experience of getting away from Google. My criteria would be how usable (how stable and how much I can use it for the usual daily tasks) and how easy would be to install it. Thanks for your help!

both are solid options, lineageos is just android while sailfish is a whole different os and doesn't work natively with android apps

Technically, I guess. But the Android emulation layer they have is superb, so you can still run tons of Android apps quite well.

I can try it. Which banking app do you use? DM me your username and password.

probably not and neither do lineage usually.

Lineage runs mine just fine, though it does require the google services addon

Mine runs in lineage

Mine runs fine. Also runs on GOS.
