The frustrating thing is all the information and materials to support Samsung devices is out there, but the custom ROM development community is so ridiculously toxic and unhelpful to newcomers that few people are willing and able to mainline new devices (and supporting a new device is complicated enough that you pretty much can’t get started without someone more experienced to point out the decades of cruft, pitfalls, and vendor-specific workarounds that the build processes have accumulated). More of the old guard leaves every year without enough new blood to replace them.
I moved from samsung’s trash-filled bloat os to lineageos, and my only regret is not doing it sooner.
Welcome to the club. I’ve been a member since 2019 and am definitely not giving up my membership anytime in the near future.
Member cyanogenmod?
I wasn’t a member quite that far back, but I kept up with the scene enough to know that it had changed to lineage OS when that occurred.
I did, but back then it felt more like a novelty. I lost interest in messing with my phone since, but now I actually needed it.
I do wish they would switch to a non profit or sell a product.
I get why they don’t though
You mean recent Samsung devices are compatible?

I buy my device only based on if I can load a differenti os
This is the mandatory prerequisite for me.
So i bought a refurbished s20u (same spec of s24u except for camera and CPU basically)
No clue, my phone is not exactly recent.
