I’ve ran LineageOS until two years ago from when it was CyanogenMod on my S3. Been a Debian user a bit longer. ;-)

What it’s got over LineageOS is it sandbox stuff out the box, so you can compromise with Google Maps and things like Bank apps run.

For work, I need a satnav with traffic in it’s route planning. No matter how good Organic Map’s maps are. Also for work, I need a Bank app. I’m not really happy with GrapheneOS, but I don’t have a choice. It’s my least worse option. Unless I keep a GrapheneOS phone for work and maybe try a Mobian phone for home… When it looks day drivable…

Edit: oh and transferring files, Nextcloud or scp in Termux.

It will be faster. It’s also cooler because of the Plan9 history. 😀

VirtioFS. You can share from the host to any number of VMs with that. LibVirtd is good. Even has a nice GUI in virt-manager.
