When Samsung says "that's all folks" the user can install one of the alternative distributions and continue to use the device.

- Yetanfou 6y agoThat is a matter of user education comparable - but not equal - to what is keeping 'the year or Linux on the desktop' always somewhere in the future.

Once installed something like LineageOS is just as easy to keep up to date as vendor-supplied distributions.
