New phone, new OS? Is it worth switching from Lineage/microG to Iodé? (leminal.space)

On my new phone I'm tempted to switch from LineageOS for microG to IodéOS, just for the ease of a dedicated installer. What are your experiences of pros and cons?

Bonus question, while I prefer full control of my phone, Iodé lists "uninstallable apps" as a feature(?) — what in the world are those?

Uh, okay. Weird use of "uninstallable", but this is definitely good to hear! I was looking at Calyx that has a suite of apps that will just always be stored on your device whether you install them or not. Glad this isn't that sort of situation 🙂
