Sad to hear that LineageOS doesn't seem to support any new devices and the list of supported devices is shrinking. I guess it takes time to build and document enough knowhow to have a device become supported, or that the project is declining in popularity. I made the mistake of buying a phone that is not supported by any free software OS :-( so I don't have any experience in this field. Sorry I can't help. Is buying the newest supported device that suits your needs an option? May 14, 2019, 11:04 PM by ben+freesoftware@benfinney.id.au:
Howdy all,
My tablet computer has started to fail (Samsung products apparently just normally have crappy batteries) so I'm looking to replace it.
When I chose this tablet computer, I did so by browsing the supported devices at <URL:> https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices <https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/>> > and using the (small) list of product models as a shopping list.
Now, over a year later, the set of devices supported by a current LineageOS release has *shrunk* and there don't appear to be any tablet computers younger than 2015 there!
Am I screwed, and if so how badly? How do I get a tablet computer which will last a good number of years (implying the hardware must be quite recent) and runs a free-software operating system?
