I made a full circle. First, I was in love with iDevices. Then I was more and more uspet by their limitations - notably inability to directly copy content (music, videos, e-books) to and from as I wished. Mind you, these were the times that in order to even start using the phone you needed a computer with iTunes installed! So I switched to Android, only to discover you need to handle over so much data to Google you have a feeling they know more about you than you do. In the end I realized Android is just a data collection platform. I switched back to Apple, even though I still use some Google services (like Maps).
If you take the time, but you need to be computer affine, you can setup your Android device to use non Google related services. This is hard work, you need to know about the implications of using one application or another and you have the feeling that Google is trying in every single dialog box to force you enabling data tracking options with dark patterns (like enabling location reporting).
I'm not saying it is hard to buy a device supported by lineageOS, I'm saying that other than buying a device for this purpose chances are your actual device or the device you had plans to buy are not supported.
This happened to me enough times that I do not even bother looking up compatibility and consider lineageOS as not an option to save myself time.
To put things in context, this discussion started because dvfjsdhgfv said they bought another device because of bad privacy on Android with Google. This means getting rid of Google was already a deciding factor when shopping for a device.
> the device you had plans to buy are not supported
Because of said context, one simply wouldn't have the plan to buy that device.
