Incomplete list of aftermarket custom roms.

…why is MicroG mentioned? It’s not a custom ROM, it’s a GApps replacement for custom roms.
Also, MIUI is not a public custom ROM, it’s the official one for Xiaomi’s devices, also it does feature bloatware, and I don’t think that it’s especially privacy-focussed either.
LineageOS for microG unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation & full Google Play Services compatibility
So it’s LineageOS.
If you put Michelin tires on a Ferrari, and sell it in that configuration, then it doesn’t turn the tires themself into a sportscar.
It’s open source
So is ArchLinux, but it’s not on this list.
Why? Because it’s not relevant to the list.
I am sorry but this list is… not-good. Includes problematic ROMs (Copperhead OS), dead projects (AOKP), and OEM closed-source ROMs (MIUI)
To anyone out there, my personal recommendation would be: if you own a Google Pixel, go for GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, if you do not have a Pixel phone, try LineageOS and derivates (I am personally running crDroid with microG instead of gapps)
I would also recommend DivestOS, soft fork of LineageOS that aims to increase security & privacy and can be installed on a lot of older devices.
Not bad, in my head it was included when i mentioned “LOS derivates”. but yeah. def a good choice.

For what its worth, I use GrapheneOS. Aside from some small issues with banking apps and a few odd quirks, I’d recommend it wholeheartedly.
I’m currently on Lineage on a Pixel 7, I’m tempted to give Graphene a go though.
As I had issues with one banking app on Lineage, I expect I’ll have problems with that one and possibly more if I make the change
Yeah. Graphene is fantastic. I had forgotten how blazing fast interface and long battery life felt like before I switched.
What a terrible list…
