This has nothing to do with LineageOS.

  You're right, it doesn't. But why go through the hassle of hacking the kernel when you can replace the whole OS with something better?

    Because, last I checked, LineageOS doesn't expose root privileges to the user.

      The install goes something like this... - install new recovery and reboot - install new OS image - install google apps - install su package - reboot and wait half an hour because androids first boot always takes forever :) Installing su is often skipped because its not recommended.

        The latest officially avaiable su package is for 16.0. My phone's on 18.1 and the latest version is 20. If you want SU on a supported LineageOS, you have to use Magisk or potentially this project.
