it now supports the Material 3 Expressive visual style.

the new LineageOS release also brings support for a fully customizable quick settings panel.

Those are the two things, to undercut the click bait headline a little.

I get that both are cool to have, functionality-wise at least definitely the customizable settings - but are those really the 'best things about Pixels'?

    The new UI design is also not universally loved, there was definitely a lot of anger towards it when it first released for being too "iOS-like" or otherwise changing familiar UI constructs like the statusbar too drastically.

    I use the stock OS on a Pixel phone but have LineageOS on a tablet, so I think I'll prefer having the same UX across both devices, but tbh it's not that big a deal.
