I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my needs.
Good thoughts in the article about what needs to get prioritized in development. Yeah, my phone specifically isn’t quite there, but at least they’re pretty far along in the process, and this is good discussion for anyone else looking for a new OS who might have a different old phone. My ability to contribute to code is so limited that it might as well not exist. Best I can usually do is finding and reporting issues.
well, you can learn. many people in the tech scene have never formally learned to program and just tinkered around. trial and error basically.
so this is not a question of your programming skills and instead rather one of motivation and curiosity.
and also many people in the tech scene like to explain things if you show motivation and the desire to listen, read manuals and such things.
so good internet-search skills will get you very far in my experience
