    on devices running Android 13 or later.

    Sounds easy then: stay on the latest Lineage that does not incorporate A13.

    While I wouldn’t say Google is actively hostile towards these power users,

      This isn’t viable. You can’t run an older android version than a device ships with and eventually older hardware will become obsolete enough that it won’t be able to connect to current gen mobile networks.

      For now, sure, you can run android 12 on an older device and bypass integrity easily, but sooner or later that won’t be viable.
