So recently my moto G60 reached the end of life with respect to security updates. That was the reason I was using to prevent myself from switching to a custom rom(actual reason is laziness). This phone has rom support for pixel experience and lineage OS. So my questions are if pixel experience has any privacy advantages when compared to the stock rom the phone ships with¿? Also if I flash GApps along with lineage OS will all the privacy advantages I get with lineage disappear¿? I might need Google play services for some banking applications.

    The OS itself is private because it’s DeGoogled. I also installed GApps because I wanted the convinence of the App store and core feature I’ve been used to for so long.

    I also knew the moment I did the google-fication privacy was out the window.

    I was fine with LineageOS and would happily go back when my Pixel7a becomes EOL.
