/e/ is LineageOS + MicroG already. Seems like a LineageOS downstream distro with bunch of defaults and some Cloud stuff (can be self-hosted) and an Appstore other than FDroid. Oh and they’ll sell you preflashed phones.

So basically AOSP for less technical people interested in privacy. Seems harmless so far.

The cloud integrations feel suspect. "Ditch Google! Use us instead! You can trust us!"
