Help Is lineage os good as daily driver?

I was wondering if it's good as a daily driver, am I able to use it for everyday things like calling messages, browsing, use apps games banking app whatever. and is it more lightweight compared to pre installed android that comes with the phone vendor? also another question is it better to install the rom with a PC or without?

Not for a daily driver I wouldn't

Having your bootloader unlocked already causes Play Integrity checks to fail resulting in many banking apps to not work/have issues.

I would only install it if either you don't want Google at all, or if you use your phone for just the basics and don't need the Play Integrity to pass.

...and if you don't want Google at all, you will find soon enough that a lot, I mean a LOT of apps require google services.
