[Operative0198]

Funny. But I have to root in order to pass safetynet on my device since it doesn't pass with the official lineage build on my device last time I checked (I squarely blame Google on this not lineage devs!).

Since am rooted anyways, it is my preferred method of installing Revanced Youtube [0], forcing auto-updates [1][2] for apps the way Google Playstore does it plus other miscellaneous fixes. It's also how I install microG[3].

Root has far too many other benefits to cover in one sitting but one of my favorites include being able to use an old app called DriveDroid to turn your Android into a bootable USB device capable of running live operating system ISOs.
