The random kid that compiled the LineageOS version that runs in my phone.

I still don't understand why is making LineageOS compatible with more phone models so hard compared to Linux distros in desktop, so I really appreciate all the work behind it.

Because each of those silly companies making phones cannot be bothered to unify their firmware. At least that is my understanding, since I am not part of the Lineage dev team. But I have been using it for years and had many problems with updates and learn thing or two during the years.

Same! I donate to various custom ROM maintainers for my specific device.
