clark@midwest.social 9 months agoI’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but do older phones running Lineage still receive updates? Say, Samsung S9, is it worth installing the OS despite its age? Not too knowledgable on this area, just wanna learn!

Looks like Samsung Galaxy S9 is [still receiving updates}(wiki.lineageos.org/devices/starlte/). Last build (nightly) was like today.

If the device no longer supports updates, is it safe to still run Lineage on it?

Correct, lineage is actually a great way to extend the life of a device safely

It is safer than not updating at all. Unsupported devices have a lot of exploits and vulnerabilities.

Does that also go for devices that don’t receive Lineage updates anymore?
