Anyone have experience with Lineage OS? I have on old LG G7 that I don't think is even mentioned in the linked OS', but I think Lineage is meant for older phones; however, the last commit to it's code was almost a year ago so I think it's deprecated/abandonware now.

*Postmarket OS has compatibility, the issue was my phone had a different name then the one listed as it was Canada only; so Postmarket should work on it.
For that device the last update was today

:O thanks so much!
i've been using lineageos with microg and root (used to be magisk, but switched to kernelsu which seems much more sensible), and it frankly just seems like the best smartphone experience possible these days.
I use the last supported version of LineageOS on my old Note 3 (Lineage 18.1 / Android 11) as a spare device around the house. Always meant to try building a newer version but never got around to it, and it's not as though the phone ever ventures outside my LAN anyway (mostly acts as an alarm clock + media player these days).
Lineage itself is still active.
Older devices do eventually have support dropped by Lineage, but depending on which version of the G7 you have it looks like it may still be supported (note that discontinued devices are filtered by default, so you have to change the filter setting to see previously supported devices): https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
Thanks!
It might possibly build anyway even if support was dropped for newer versions. If themuppets repo is still around it makes it really pretty easy.
