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?

I think that is just about how to strip the iodeOS modifications from the system without a complete reset or something. Probably using adb and fastboot as you mentioned. But I have no idea about how any of this works or why I would want to do that.

If you want to install any other OS, just go about it as you would normally. I don't see how this changes anything really.

Cool, cool. Will give it a shot when I have a couple hours to install it 👍 Thanks for your help!
