What about LineageOS?
My guess is the problematic parts here aren't open source so they should never show up in Lineage OS?

im using OP12R and uses google, but i dont if it has gemini as integrated in it as a pixel does?
is gemini on all androids? i remember there once was something called bixby, now when i accidentally hold the home button for too long it tells me to enable "circle". i've disabled all of those "smart" features but fuck knows what is going to get automatically installed in an update next week
Bixby is/was Samsung's assistant thing. Unrelated to Google's Gemini

so this has got me looking at alternative OSs, but it's all a bit confusing. which one is most mature and would still let me run android apps (I want my bank apps and stuff like that) but is also somewhat de-googled? I appreciate any advice
