Yeah, but we’re not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone “AI” even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.

“AI” is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.

Same argument stands though. It’s not like LOS is a company with a ton of venture capital. Maintainers are the same randos from the same forums, they just banded together under a common flag. Some of the “official” LOS devs even release unofficial prereleases on other sites. And sometimes support drops because the maintainers may or may not have the physical device to test on.

If you are running an unofficial rom made by some random on a forum, that’s on you.

LOL you haven’t lived until you flashed a weird ROM off XDA-dev to realise it was developed for some regional variation of your device, the UI is all in a language you don’t read, and the developer customised the OS to their own niche use case that you’re not partial to.

Mind, it used to be easier to casually flash ROMs (for me at least) back in the Jellybean/KitKat days. Fun times!

I’m fairly happy with LineageOS myself

but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don’t work with this OS and no support.

I think you’re overreacting a bit calling it “false information”. LOS is a FLOSS project that many individuals have ported to their device — and either at some point they buy a new phone and drop that development, or they realise what a massive project it is to maintain it. That’s just a general bummer with open source, especially when people volunteer their free time.
