I’m looking to acquire or set up a Wi-Fi only tablet that is focused on privacy. I’ve been starting to do some research among the potential OS options and I wanted to ask this community whether it is better to go with LineageOS or /e/ OS for it, or potentially another option. I’ve tried additional software on other devices that at least help make them more private, but I really want to set something up that is truly private using a tablet.

Edit: I’m also considering Pixel Tablet + GrapheneOS

    Funny thing, I have the exact set up you’re looking to build. I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S5E Wi-Fi Tablet with LineageOS installed, and it works like a charm!

    I’ve had the tablet for a couple of years, and it is starting to show its age a bit with the hardware. And I think there’s a lack of codecs in the more recent OS updates that have prevented me from playing higher than 2K quality for videos on YouTube or Stremio, but it gets the job done!
