OT: How to set up an android tablet without a Google account?

[Stephen Partington]

Once set up Lineage is actually very much a normal Android experience and i
have set up devices for non technical users before. but it would be very

I have done something very much like this with my Nexus7

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
