    TL;DR:

    • Google no longer pushes monthly tags and patches to AOSP; and most fixes/security patches are now pushed quarterly, if at all.
    • Security patch levels may occasionally lag: we only increment them once all patches are public.
    • LineageOS 23.0 is based on Android 16 “QPR0” because QPR1’s source isn’t public yet.
      • Because of this some headline features (like Material 3 Expressive) will come later, once sources drop.
    • Pixel support continues, but with reduced source access, they’re no longer guaranteed, let alone on day one.

    Just upgraded my OnePlus 8T to it this morning, no real differences noticed or found as of yet. Not surprised as they mention this in the notes, but for a major version change on Android 15 -> 16, you would expect some immediate differences in performance or visual identity, and not have to wait until the visual patch is released by Google in the future.

    This reliance on Google and not a purely open source foundation for android stewardship is horrible.

    Any Lineage users here willing to chime in to compare to GrapheneOS? I use the latter currently and I'm not really looking to switch, but I've read some things about their leadership/CEO that make a me a little uncomfortable* so I'd like to know what my options are just in case.

    *Nothing ridiculous like fascism or bigotry, just some... Immaturity and paranoia, I guess? I can go dig up the stuff I saw if needed.
