    Is it equal to a regular android? Will the usual banking apps work on it, for example?

      The Sparkasse (german bank) app works perfectly fine. I use LineageOS with microG and I’m not logged in with a Google account or anything.

      What do you mean by equal? All apps will work if you set it up correctly. Even if you root the phone you can enforce a Deny List. As my understanding MicroG works as a middleman between you and Google, so if you feel like leaving Google Services but you are finding that some apps you need depend on GSF or Maps then this is most likely your best option. In my opinion its the best custom ROM after Graphene OS and better if you need GSF.

      Nowadays with SafetyNet hardware checks it’s a dangerous game to rely on that.

      No. Banking won’t work and you can’t lock bootloader. As far as I know there’s no Recovery password so someone could just adb and pull data. If you want to use banking apps you could use magisk to pass safety net but that will make your phone less secure. Personally I have no banking app so I don’t give a shit

        Banking apps work for me. And you cant pull data over adb without the password. The data is encrypted by default since a few Android versions

        It really depends on the banking app.

        And you can always use a browser - Hermit enables you to use a web page that looks much like an app.

        I think you can configure that some apps can be only accessed by root user while not giving root permissions to a pc usb debugging
