LineageOS: what breaks? Banking. I have a fairly robust risk appetite, but rooting a device to install a closed-source fork of Magisk that hides itself well enough that I can spoof Play Integrity so my bank's app will run is a few steps too far in the wrong direction. So choose what you prefer: access to your money, or some amount of control over your digital leash.

I see no way forward after September that doesn't involve having two phones: one that mostly lives at home for the applications that absolutely won't run without maximum verification, and one for daily use. At that point, I might as well get a used iOS device for the banking stuff.

This fucking sucks.

@aks on my end, 1/3 works on LineageOS, 2.5/3 on GrapheneOS (tells me that the "next version" of their app won't work on my "custom OS"). Signing the release and locking the bootloader would probably get me to 2/3 on LineageOS, but that's an extra bespoke step I'd have to take for each upgrade.

With the same technical dependency: I'm also concerned that the coming EU digital ID is hooked into the Google and Apple ecosystems, both of which depend/will depend on an unmodified device to pass audit. So EU citizens will have to have an unmodified American product to participate in society. It's...frustrating is one word for it. Confusing is another. I'll stop before I start cussing.
