LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5 million Android devices
LineageOS, one of the last great Android ROMs, is currently in use on around 1.5 million different devices.

I put lineage OS on devices that are too old to get updates on any other platform. Zombie devices basically. They're doing great work. Delaying e-waste.
What if your device doesn't officially supported? There are some "unofficial rom" on some forums but I don't trust them.
When we're talking about devices that aren't getting security updates anyway, you shouldn't be using them for anything sensitive, even with direct lineage OS builds. Without baseband hardware driver updates, you're an extreme risk for a drive by exploit.
From my threat model perspective, lineage OS makes a vulnerable device useful, but not for anything sensitive.
A game phone, a VPN phone, a webcam, a sync thing endpoint, a crypto miner, a kid's phone, lots of uses. But not banking, not passwords.
If the build isn't coming from lineage os, I question why not? It just takes one maintainer to keep the build going. At best you're going to get a point in time build, you're not going to keep getting operating system.
I am pretty sure lineage os does get regular updates on my oneplus 3t.
