LineageOS don't bother with any other phone OSes

It's unfortunate that until PostMarketOS gets better support for phones like OnePlus 6, you really only have the original PinePhone. The PinePhone shares it's GPU with the Galaxy S2 (released 12 years ago). However, that OnePlus 6 support really is coming along. I still use my OnePlus7 as a bedside multimedia device and it works just fine.

Do you use PostMarketOS?

No, I don't. Maybe in the future. I don't have the patience for this stuff like I did in the HTC Dream/ G1 era.
