    I’m skeptical. Even knowing how paranoid Daniel is about, well…everything.

    Who remembers the last time a custom ROM got an OEM deal? It is the reason Lineage OS exists today…

      I dearly remember my OnePlus One with CyanogenMod, if that answers your question?

          Nope, only from what I’ve read about it more recently. Back then I was just hyped about getting an even smarter smartphone with a better OS and all the new possibilities it brought to me. It was by no means my first smartphone, and I had already explored using my phones in interesting, useful or smart ways, but the OnePlus One felt like a very big upgrade in my daily life, especially since things were moving pretty fast on that area 10-15 years ago. CyanogenMod was definitely an important part of that improved Android experience, and I don’t think the corporation clusterfuck affected that, really, as I did not at all notice what was going on over there.

            That situation destroyed CM and its team. Lineage OS was the proverbial phoenix that rose from the ashes of CM.

              Yeah, I knew about LOS being the continuation of CM, and it seems to be still going strong with support for a multitude of devices, which is great!
