I've been using LineageOS for many years now, without Google Services, 
on a few different phones.  I'm exclusively using the F-Droid app store 
with a few extra repositories like the Guardian Project, Molly F-Droid 
and NewPipe.

My experience is that ironically, this setup works best on Google 
phones, currently I'm using a Pixel 4 XL.

Of course, for Free Software purists, there are still many issues with 
such "normal" phones: Non-free firmware etc.  But I feel it is 
definitely a step in the right direction.

I also own a Purism Librem 5 but unfortunately haven't had the time to 
experiment with it to see if it could - one day - replace my current 
setup... last I looked there were still too many "rough edges" for my 
liking.  But I'm hoping the situation will gradually improve.  Regarding 
the Free Software aspect, this should be today's winner and I really 
like the idea to run a "real GNU/Linux" phone one day.

Kind regards
Christian
