LineageOS is an open-source operating system for smartphones and tablets, based on the Android mobile platform. It is the successor to the now-discontinued CyanogenMod, which was one of the most popular custom ROMs for Android devices.
LineageOS aims to provide a stable and secure platform that is free from the bloatware and other unnecessary features found in many stock Android distributions. It also offers a range of customization options and features that are not available in the stock version of Android.
LineageOS is developed and maintained by a community of developers and enthusiasts, who work on a voluntary basis to create and maintain the codebase. The project is supported by donations and contributions from its users and fans.
One of the main advantages of LineageOS is that it offers regular updates and security patches, even for older devices that are no longer supported by their manufacturers. This helps to extend the lifespan of older devices and reduce e-waste.
