I use the exact same setup, works like a charm. I can definitely recommend it for anyone concerned with the privacy issues of current mobile OSes. Furthermore, it never feels limited after getting used to this suit of apps, which may take u

This is the exact thing I was wondering about. As far as I understood, they flashed GApps, even though GApps is not part of the default installation. I wonder what the findings would've been like on LineageOS without the GApps.

Niagara, no matter how nice, collects way to much data for my liking. It's a good thing that you mentioned Ratio too, because it also lets me accomplish the same thing while also being privacy oriented. Thanks!

Actually, I'm using Ubuntu Budgie with a 120 Hz 1080p monitor, it's very responsive. Very much what you would expect these days from any desktop.
