interesting - will look into that - thanks!

Daily driving /e/ since 4 years. The only gotchas for me are:

• no NFC-Payment possible
• some apps might not work with microG instead of proper play services. (FindMy, gMaps, even some non Google Apps like the StreetMeasure Plugin for StreetComplete)
• The App-Store for Play-Store access is a bit cluncky. I have to reset the App data sometimes to get it to download stuff from PlayStore. I get most apps through Obtainium or Fdroid though.

For me those are fairly small gotchas in order to get a degoogled OS. Also you have easy control over which apps may use Google Push services and the possibility to turn on your Flashlight by long pressing the Power Button (Thanks to Lineage OS background) which is nice to have and not included in the Android Version of FP AFAIK.

that’s great to hear!

swapping hot and neutral typically isn’t a problem - its alternating current anyway. However, most DC Appliances are sensitive to reverse polarity. Ever tried connecting a electrolytic capacitor the wrong way around? On the other hand many customer appliances have some kind of protection against reverse polarity.
