Samsung won't even let you unlock their US phones bootloaders.

You don't need an account, but it's still terrible. I experienced this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35854287

I was never able to get lineage working on my old s8

Was that due to bootloader issues or just because there's no official support (It's not actually listed on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung) ? FWIW I have it running on a 2nd hand s10e and it's not flawless, but still pretty good.

the s8 was a weird case. I think the s7 and s9 could be unlocked, but the s8 was locked up tight, iirc
