Hi there!

I have a Samsung S20 5G. I just got a new job recently and I was trying to set up a professional profile with Microsoft InTune to have Teams, Outlook, Edge, etc. to have access to my messages and intranet on the go. But, I found out my OS was out of date and didn’t have the latest security updates, and therefore the professional profile couldn’t be completed.

My options are:

  1. Buy a new phone ($$$$$)
  2. Keep the phone and Install LineageOS (MS InTune and professional profile might not work?)

Have any one of you had to create a professional profile on Lineage and succeeded? What has your experience been on Lineage?

By the way, I’m not trying to de-Google my phone. I’m just trying to extend the life of my phone and I read that to create a professional profile or for your banking apps to work, you need to install Google services a certain way when Installing Lineage. Have any of you tried this?

Also, I originally bought this phone (used) because it claimed to have e-sim functionality which is great for travelling. However, the Canadian version of the factory OS disabled that feature. I had to replace it with a U.S. image for the same model and that unlocked it. Will Lineage OS prevent me from using e-sims?

Please let me know your experience.

    @ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace Plenty of others have already answered, so I’ll address the esim stuff. LineageOS works fine with esims, *but* support between devices varies. As an example, when I first installed LineageOS 21 on my Oneplus 11 (which I hated and stopped using for reasons unrelated to LineageOS), it didn’t support the esim at all. When I reinstalled LineageOS 23 later on (for someone else to use), esim support worked perfectly. You’ll want to check the xdg forums for x1s esim support.
