Update: Got this tablet out of storage the other day and reimaged it. It's now my e-reader for college. Still works like a champ.

Right now, I'm testing out some concepts on it:

- no Gapps. No Google Play services. No Google on the device whatsoever

- using lineageOS's "Privacy Guard" to monitor app permissions, and actually giving a damn about what permissions apps get. I made it so that every time Firefox wants permissions to access my microphone, it pops up and asks me. I've noticed that anytime you visit facebook.com in firefox, it asks for microphone access. That's a huge NOPE.

- Using Yalp and F-droid to download and maintain/update all apps

So far, it's going pretty good. I have a google=free tablet that's running mostly open-source software - the only closed-source thing on here is a GBA emulator, which I've given minimal permissions.
