/e/ was a fork of Lineage a couple years ago (not sure if it still is).

Their approach is to use their own cloud system instead of Google's. I think they promote it as more secure (as in they don't see your data), but I don't recall for sure.

You can run their OS without using their sync system too. You could flash something like MicroG or even authentic Google Play Services (it's available from Google as a couple packages).

Don't trust me on this, my memory is a bit suspect, but I played with /e/ a couple years ago. And they need to change that name - they said they were going to.
