I got rid of Microsoft for me and all my family, dived deep into Linux, still learning and open-sourcing my entire life more every day. Now, time to deal with the Phones. Please explain what I should do.
- There are many ways to use Lineage, depending how far you are ready to go. You can use Lineage without any google apps, use F-Droid as main store, and AuroraStore for apps you need from the playstore. This gives you access to all apps, but some will not work without google apps. You can use Lineage with the actual google apps (feg. by installing a package from opengapps.org), this way apps can use all the frameworks provided by google. Or you can install microg instead: It's an open source implementation of those services. Everything that's running on your phone is open source, but it still does communicate with the google servers (that's kind of the main point of microg), and google will still be able to collect data on you, although less data is sent compared to the official google apps. The problem left: Stuff trying to verify you do not run a modified android version. This is the real pain in the ass. The main part here is googles SafetyNet. You have to use Magisk to pass the SafetyNet checks, many apps like banking apps, Pokemon etc. require it. This is a constant cat and mouse game: At the moment it works nicely, but it does break when google changes how SafetyNet works, there is no guarantee it will work forever, and some apps use different methods to detect a modified android. There is also Widevine, a DRM technology, that currently can not be bypassed. Not that important imo, because not too many apps use it, and those who do usually don't fully break without it. For example: When using Netflix on a device without Widevine L1 certificate, it will just limit your resolution, and I don't really need 4k on a 6" screen.

How do I revert back from MicroG to Google Play Services on a rooted phone?
I'd start with a reflash of the rom so it's clean. Then try the official ones (not a fork) https://microg.org/ or https://opengapps.org/

google pixel 2 system partition not large enough for LineageOS 17.1 + open gapps
You can flash any Open GApps package & use a gapps-config file as described in Open GApps Wiki - Advanced Features and Options to exclude some of the apps that you don't want or to make the install smaller and use Play Store to add the apps you want so that they will be installed in the Data partition instead of the System partition if it's too small on your device.

Which Android OS?
LineageOS is the obvious choice, I use Aurora Droid and Aurora Store yet have still not found an app I need Play Services for. If not, it's possible microg has implemented the feature you need, otherwise there's the OpenGapps pico variant which will almost certainly be sufficient.

Unsuccessful OTA update 17.1 Redmi Note 7
To downsize or downgrade to a smaller package on a current device setup that already includes Open GApps you can dirty flash (do NOT wipe System & Data!) Pico over Nano to downsize because as you can see in Open GApps Package Comparison Nano only removes & replaces the Stock/AOSP version of Package Installer just like Pico does.

How to use the Kill Switch on a Samsung Tablet?
If the upgrade to Android 8 or higher is not available for your tablet, which it seems to be in your case, there are two solutions I see, flash a custom ROM of Android on it or buy a newer device. For the ROMs, it can allow you to get more superior versions, you can get these ROMs on forums like XDA Developers, which I recommend. On the other hand, I want to tell you some warnings, some features may not work or malfunction, this is usually specified and also, there is an absence of Google services, you should use MicroG, MindTheGapps or Open GApps to have them, choose the one that is recommended by the developer of the ROM you have chosen. If you don't follow the installation instructions correctly, it can cause consequences, like device bricking, it never happened to me personally, I always followed the different guides well, so at your own risk.

Using a fuller Open GApps on Pixel 2 with LineageOS
You can flash Open GApps Mini & use a gapps-config file as described in Open GApps Wiki - Advanced Features and Options to exclude some of the apps that you don't want or to make the install smaller and use Play Store to add the apps you want that are included in Stock & not in Full.

Phone keeps restarting after installation of Lineage. I forgot to install the google app package, so I formated again and I installed lineage again this time with gapps.
