I have a rooted and custom rom android phone running an official lineage os release It still can't make phone calls without cycling airplane mode between calls

I have a rooted and custom rom android phone running an official lineage os release It still can't make phone calls without cycling airplane mode between calls. The one before that would crash if I paired a bluetooth device while connected to one already. Both of them bootloop at the power off battery charge screen, which basically means i couldn't turn my phone on while plugged in, and unless its a fast charger, the act of repeatedly booting up keeping the phone screen on ends up draining power faster then it can charge. So. Tell me again about these free and open options.

And you will have similar justifications for using Windows instead of Linux, I presume. It is interesting how it works for some people, and for other people their device literally explodes.

  Even veteran Linux users face absurd shortcomings in interoperability. Sleep mode being a trivial example, or using bluetooth headsets at all.

    Currently use both a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth speaker with my nvidia optimus laptop. There are occasional issues, but nothing showstopping for me.

Not my experience with LineageOS. My biggest problems with my phone with LineageOS is that I cannot use a microSD card as more internal disk space, not a problem with LineageOS itself, but a problem with Android 6 and above on my phone. The other problem is LineageOS not having an update for my phone for 2 or 3 years, as mine is an old budget phone from 2014. On the whole I have been very happy with LineageOS as it has allowed me to continue to use my phone for years longer than I would have with the simply bad manufacturer updates that almost completely filled the internal disk space and stopped updating something like 2015 with Android 5. Less unnecessary expense, less eWaste, thumbs up. For me, I would definitely go with a phone manufacturer that supports rooting their device and put LineageOS on it if I think I need it. I may not install it, but the option for the future is the main thing.
