    on devices running Android 13 or later.

    Sounds easy then: stay on the latest Lineage that does not incorporate A13.

    While I wouldn’t say Google is actively hostile towards these power users,

    Author is obviously sold out. Are they even trustable?

      This isn’t viable. You can’t run an older android version than a device ships with and eventually older hardware will become obsolete enough that it won’t be able to connect to current gen mobile networks.

      For now, sure, you can run android 12 on an older device and bypass integrity easily, but sooner or later that won’t be viable.

        That’s true of anything in technology (that is not designed to last; see: typewritrs and radio still work), so not really a variable. By that poiont you’ll either have a dedicated “updated” phone for current-gen slop, or have shifted over to a more private stack, or even have gone fully off-grid.
