Newbie's questions

Hi everybody,
I’m a happy user of LineageOs and considering to try /e/.
Is /e/ more “un-googled” than LOS?
Is it possible to uninstall a pre-installed app?
Is it possible to uninstall or deactivate microG?
I don’t use any google service so i suppose i don’t need microG. I don’t fully understand how it works but i’m concerned with potential privacy leaks.

Anyway a big thank’s to the /e/ and LOS devs for making possible to use a smartphone without being monitored by google!

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

Uninstall … I’m not sure how /e/ would behave then, but supposedly you can … /e/ pre-installed Grade A smartphones : How to buy them - #45 by archje.
Deactivate … you can deactivate its components in the microG settings.
Anyway, if you and your Apps don’t use it, microG does no harm just by being there.
