Simple question really! Are any of you running a Custom ROM? Furthermore, are any of you running a De-Googled ROM?

Why do you run your custom ROM, and what are the drawbacks?

LineageOS, withoutgooglwe play services the drawbacks are some apps don't have a notification support (some have that live 24/7 notification to make it work, but most don't have that).

Picked LineageOS for the privacy features and how easy it is to run commands (I literally just had to copy and paste commands, one at a time, no hiccups)

Also on LineageOS but I am on the MicroG build that emulates google play services.

I was thinking about adding it, but will probably let this phone die on it's own and switcht to a Pixel phone with Graphene OS with the gps sandboxed, or whatever they do there to make it work
