Is GammaOS, an alternative OS for some popular retro gaming Android devices, deGoogled?

Besides the price sometimes, Google services being preinstalled on these Android devices is the main reason keeping me from wanting to get one. I’d love to be able to emulate GameCube though and I’m hoping GammaOS is the solution.

The Lite installer excludes Google Services.

Android 13 / LineageOS 20 Base: A clean, debloated build for snappy performance and minimal bloat.
Google Services & Lite Option: Full Google Play Store support in standard builds, or choose “Lite” to forgo Google apps and maximize performance.
Aurora Store: Seamlessly sideload apps without needing a Google account.

It’s supposed to make a whole bunch of system wide optimizations for performance, fixes particular issues with specific devices, and have things preinstalled for the retro gaming experience to my understanding

Be sure to check that your device is compatible before installing.
