Wow LineageOS really is a bazaar, and not a cathedral.

* 74% of installs are unofficial builds, not ones released by LineageOS.

* 2/3 of US installs are on non-phones (waydroid, nintendo switch, rpi, etc)

* Most of the installs on actual phones are in China, Brazil and Vietnam

* Less than 21% of installs are on versions that receive security updates, and less than 9% of installs are on the latest version (mostly because device's binary blobs don't support newer android versions?)

Note that these stats are based on opt-in data gathering.

PSA: LineageOS has some unofficial builds which works on earlier gen Amazon devices. I turned an Echo Show from an annoying ad machine into the device a Chumby always could have been.

Wow, that's not the distribution I expected; waydroid beats any other version... Though I guess that's not apples-apples since it aggregates any physical device running waydroid... And also I didn't expect unofficial builds to be so popular.

Wonder how much of those Waydroid installs are from scam farms. I can imagine some legit uses, but not this amount.
