I just wasn’t aware that Lineage is degoogled, that’s all.

It’s not some conspiracy against Lineage, Lineage seems great. Haven’t used it in a while but that’s just because I use e/OS personally.

GrapheneOS, Iodé and /e/OS should be unaffected if you want open Android

Also this ignores that 50k goes a lot further in France than in the US. In my experience cost of living is around 1.5x in the US when you account for everything than it is in France.
