LineageOS is a great OS. People should continue to use it for learning, fun, and getting things done.

Please elaborate though. How is an unlocked bootloader is more secure than than EngineerMode appearing on a phone [1]? Conclusion #6:

> Encryption is insecure with an unlocked bootloader or an open-access recovery.

If you have LineageOS with TWRP and an unlocked bootloader then it appears you have an insecure device.
