I found this discussion as I’m interested in verified boot (relocking bootloader after installing the OS). This is one of the points raised by the Copperhead Person on the linked comment on reddit.
I searched for it and it seems that LineageOS will not support verified boot as it would make using gapps harder. My theory (not a developer here) is that’s because any change on the system partition needs to be signed by the same key and they can’t distribute gapps for licensing reasons. Following this logic it should not be a problem for /e/ to support verified boot (like CopperheadOS did).
This would be a nice selling point for technical/paranoid users to distinguish /e/ from LOS. Please consider this.
And of course: thanks to everyone for putting your energy into this project. It’s urgently needed.
