  Degoogling is not deblobbing and Lineage or /e/ use plenty of closed source software during runtime. The top parent and DivestOS author really is deblobbing* to some degree, but forks of LineageOS that introduce measures of "degoogling" hold onto vendor firmware blobs on androids /vendor partition for functionality. Those aren't known for connecting to the Google hivemind though.

  My interpretation of the term degoogling fits the second part of your sentence, "getting away from online services": it is user agency in what network connections can occur, so either by default or optionally users can stop any signaling coming from the device they use. They don't have that freedom with the software the device came with.

• Lineage and iode both have support for Xperia XZ3, was wondering if it's on the cards for Divest?

• 32 bit apps?

  I installed divestoOS on my mi 9t, and this type of 32 bit warning happens for every app I open basically. Settings included. Is it a bug or soemthing? It got me a bit off guard NGL.

• Finally OnePlus 9R (lemonades) is supported by LOS, in near future, can it be supported by Divest OS.
  1 project | /r/DivestOS | 12 Feb 2023

  It is easier than adding others since it is effectively just another OP8 variant. No time when, but will likely happen before others listed here: https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/DivestOS-Build/issues/68
