@Yoruka LinageOS is full of proprietary software - so no, not liberty - just convenience. -

@Yoruka If you want software that is for sure going to continue to work once you get it working, the only choice is free software.
Replicant works, but does require either a supported device or a port to a device. -

@Yoruka The LineageOS developers always include and recommend several proprietary programs that don't need to be included for the phone to work. -

@Suiseiseki it is more the phone manufacturer fault that there is nonfree software rather then the os developers -

@Yoruka >they don't include any nonfree programs

@Suiseiseki they don't include any nonfree programs but from what i know they do kinda recommend you to install certain google apps including the heavy spyware google play services. But the user can always opt for microG which i dont know why they do not recommend that in the first place.
