Even LineageOS can only help so far. I've got a Galaxy S7 Edge, bought it dec. 2016. It's not even supported by Lineage OS any more.

You should switch to the official OS then - it just got an update. As it also did 3, 6 and 12 months ago.

What are you talking about? The last update for the "official" OS was for Android 8.0. That was two years ago.

Mine got OS update just this week. Not sure what the Android version is though, it's now my girlfriend's phone. It did the OS reinstall screen.

Are you talking about quarterly security patches...?
