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.

    So there are no good things about stock Pixels.

    Just got this update, I prefer the system ui being grey since its easier on the eyes vs the new blue theme that matches my wallpaper

    I wonder if and when the new Terminal app can be released for non Pixel phones on Lineage. Still stuck with nix-on-droid/Termux here.

    I switched banks partially because of this lol. Used to use Ally now I use Greenfi, no problems with play integrity anymore on stock lineage.

    For some reason, the UK's NS&I bank app doesn't even work if you have a non default keyboard turned on or developer options. The real kicker is that the app doesn't even have functionality to remove money from your account! Just to view your balance

    I'd say it depends on a few things... I have absolutely no problem using ING and Sparkasse apps with my degoogled phone running iodéOS, which is based on lineage OS... As long as you have Google Play services or MicroG running it should work as far as I know, but maybe if you're from the US or at least not from Germany you may encounter problems. I don't know
