I'm not sure if it's entirely degoogled, but I use LineageOS 19 without gapps and it goes quite nicely.

@boblaw0 @askandroid LineageOS gets my recommend.
I've been a long time user (since way back when it was still called CyanogenMod!) and, although I had installed gapps on my devices, the official releases come degoogled by default. They also include many in-house FOSS alternatives to Google's core apps which are otherwise missing on stock AOSP (like the Eleven music player, Jelly browser, etc) so it can be 100% used out of the box without any kind of gapp package installed
At the moment, e/OS and Graphene are two of the very few ROMs which pass SafetyNet OOTB.
Once KernelSU becomes mainstream, every device will pass SafetyNet, till the time Google changes something drastically
Do they also support widewine L1 or the downgraded L3.
Graphene if you've got a recent pixel, e/OS or Lineage (not entirely degoogled??) if you've got a Fairphone
For everything else maybe Lineage and do the degoogling manually (if any components remain)? Calyx OS is a thing too, but I don't hear it discussed a lot nowadays.
/e/OS
I've been using calyxos for the last couple weeks, and I love it! Was using lineage before this, and calyx is better: locked bootloader, easier install, davx5 and signal included out of the box, and actual functional system backups! Plus it comes with a play store compat layer and f-droid so you can download apps without logging into google.
@boblaw0 @askandroid I would recommend eOS. Everything works out of the box and you have a cloud to store your medias.
Anyone have thoughts on iodeOS in this conversation? Thats what I was last considering. It'd be interesting if folks shared their thought on the pros & cons of the options they're familiar with
