    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.

        Search for lineage os your phone model if you’re lucky someone will have ported the project to your device, the more popular it was the more likely

        There are reasonable instructions

        Your phone will need an unlocked bootloader, and it will not be able to be locked again while running lineage. This will prevent the use of any secure software which includes most bank apps, login authenticators. Local security is entirely bypassed by the unlocked bootloader

        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 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)
