In an ideal case we can get enough info together to get you close to that position .
In LineageOS, you can choose to install microG.
In LineageOS for microG, microG is embedded in the system by default in a way LineageOS didn’t want to allow by default (see the FAQ and this for the difference).
In /e/OS microG is embedded in the system in a way that achieves the same effect as in LineageOS for microG.
You aren’t affected then, which is the desirable situation for every user.
But there always will be bugs.
Correct.
It’s worth a shot. To give microG credit, many users can use many different Google-dependent Apps without much trouble with it (I’m using some, too). But you have to be aware that you can’t really rely on it 100%, it’s more like a bonus.
Got you. It’s a shame I’m so dependant on GMaps, I guess I could “make it work” with the browser version though… What about Waze ? Isn’t it somehow google dependant ? Living in a massive traffic area I like my alternate road options to be accurate…
You can use Aurora Store as an alternative client to the Play Store.
Does the additional stuff MinMicroG can install help with App compatibility in general, or is this just there to make the Play Store work?
Google Maps works fine even without microG nor OpenGapps.
I have microG installed on my Xiaomi for a year and a half and more than 95% of apps work.
And google maps works without any problems.
On my Xiaomi I use Havococ (fork from lineageos) with minmicroG. But the OS doesnt matter for app compatibility, only if you are using microG and what version.
So /e/OS, Lineage4microG, etc all have the same app compatibility.
Anyone could confirm if app SecurID from RSA security will work on /e/ OS ?
Also, what about french Corona app “Anticovid”?
Any feedback would be much appreciated
…that’s how I did it as well - actually it is a quite nice system right now, with mainly apps from F-Droid The rest comin from Aurora oder via PC and apps.evozi.com
