Lineage is not about providing a google free version of Android. It does not contain google apps, for licensing reasons, probably also to let the user choose. But it does not go further, all the other stuff like captive portal check, agps, dns etc still uses google servers. It's not "degoogled" in any way. Love lineage btw but we need to be aware of what it is and isn't.

Would graphene OS be the answer here then? I've been looking around for my new phone lately as I'm trying to do the same. Would it be possible to de-google lineage OS manually or is it just better to pick another OS? Sorry for the questions but I don't really know where the FOSS android communities are yet so I don't know where to look for the answers.
