How much more "safer" is data on a phone with LineageOS vs manufacturer rom? If you have 20+ character password on a Lineage OS phone and cops take it, they can't get in, right? (sh.itjust.works)

Okay but suppose you managed to turn off the phone before they seize it, how does the unlocked bootloader matter? LineageOS use encryption

Isn't most people running linux with secure-boot off anyways? But a turned-off fde encrypted linux computer is still considered secure?

A lot of people wont like this but Linux isn't secure either
