I really like Nova, but also prefer to keep as much of my data to myself so I blocked Nova access to the internet via app permissions. Also blocked branch domains on my pi-hole for peace of mind.

You can use Magisk to get around those restrictions of you have issues.
There are also SafetyNet fixes you can flash post Lineage install that get around that sort of thing but it is a back and forth as Google is continually patching holes in their security.
My banking apps work fine, including Google Pay.
Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite running LineageOS 20 (Android 13) (official).
I feel absolutely blessed by the device maintainers that keep Lineage alive and current on this phone. It runs amazing considering its lower speced hardware.
I picked this phone because it has NFC, an IR blaster, notification LED and a 3.5mm jack!
Not sure how the flagships brands justify leaving those features out
My only complaint is the camera which is very average but I knew that before I purchased so I can’t really complain.
I daily drove Puppy Linux live booted off a USB for a few months probably 15 years a go when my hard drive died and I couldn’t afford a new one.
I completely agree. It’s the bare minimum to include screenshots if you want people to be interested. If the barrier to see if I even like the look of the app is cloning and building the project then I’ll probably just move on to an alternative.
The rules are easy to follow though and clearly stated at least.
