I look forward to leaving LineageOS behind. First of all, Lineage builds for particular phones are abandoned frequently, because they are made by a single maintainer as a hobby and he can get bored and leave. The fact that the Android development environment is so arcane, and the hardware usually closed in various ways, makes it hard for anyone else to pick the project up.
Secondly, there are a lot of things that one can do in an ordinary desktop-Linux environment that are much more complicated in the Android world. On my old Nokia N900, I frequently wrote Python scripts that interacted with the system D-bus to automate things, and I did not have to install a big development environment or download someone else’s solution.
