## Is /e/ LineageOS + microG?
/e/ is forked from LineageOS. We've modified several parts of the system (and will do more and more): installation procedure, settings organization, default settings. We've disabled and/or removing any software that is sending personal data to Google (for instance, default search engine is no more Google). We've integrated microG by default, are replacing some of the default applications, modifying some of the default applications. We have added a synchronization background software that is syncing multimedia contents (pictures, videos, audio, files...) and settings to a cloud drive, when activated.

We've implemented several /e/ online services, with a single /e/ user identity (user@e.email). This infrastructure will be offered as docker images for self hosting: drive, email, calendar... to those who prefer self-hosting.
We have added an account manager within the system with support for the single identity. It allows users to log only once, with a simple "user@e.email" identity, to get access to /e/ various online services (drive, email, calendar, notes, tasks).

## Why should I use /e/? I can customize the ROM myself...
