eOS to lineageOS is like Ubuntu to Debian; a more newb-oriented solution with some stuff preinstalled but with less choices; e.g. you can't switch out the iOS-like launcher. if you know your way around, you're wasting your time with eOS. but if it's for a less technically adept user, you might be doing them a favor with eOS. the murena suite can be opted out of.

You can install a customs launcher on eos. I will say that the default apps cannot be uninstalled, but I heard there's a way to do it by connecting your phone to your PC.
