All the smartphone features, none of the Google!

I've been using dumbphones for awhile now, but I started to miss some smartphone features. Then a friend of mine mentioned LineageOS again. I decided to take the plunge... And I'm glad I did! It IS possible to have a relatively private smartphone without all the Googley madness - even in this day and age. But it does take a bit of time, patience, and some technical know-how. Note that I don't walk through the entire installation process here since it's particular to your specific phone. But at least you'll be headed in the right direction!
