Lineage or Sailfish? (lemmy.world)

Hey, guys. I have a spare Sony 10 IV, which supports Sailfish OS and Lineage OS. I would like to install one of them and have the experience of getting away from Google. My criteria would be how usable (how stable and how much I can use it for the usual daily tasks) and how easy would be to install it. Thanks for your help!

I don't know what the state of either is on a Sony 10 IV, but the answer is almost certainly Lineage. It's the more mature project, and it's way more likely to work. And at the risk of getting on a high horse, Lineage's unfortunate but necessary (if you actually want your phone to work) reliance on proprietary blobs is already bad enough; I certainly wouldn't trust my privacy to a project like Sailfish, which I understand to be partially closed source.
