Many words to support the wish for a “recommended” devices list, or any shortlist with just a few devices with more guarantee for attention and support.
A few days ago, I went through the full list of devices (manually, so take it with a grain of salt).
I found zero device with the Official status. The majority of them were “Community”. Many were missing the information about the level of support.
Then came the selection of refurbished phones that will be offered for sale. I thought that these would get more support/attention. Except that the list includes the Samsung S9, which doesn’t have official LineageOS 16 yet. And when Gael announced that Pie was coming soon, it was carefully clarified all devices which have official Lineage 16.0 ROM’s will be eligible for /e/ pie ROM’s. So, no Pie yet for S9.
So, my understanding is that, even that list of 4 handsets doesn’t guarantee the best experience with /e/. Hence my wish for a shortlist of more advisable handsets. You may want to avoid the “Official” tag as long as the project is in Beta. But some shortlist seems desirable to me.
