Thanks. I'll probably be trying LineageOS. Wish me luck.

fwiw, third-party android roms are only part of the story. And, in an article about the baseband being compromised, I would hope people would take that into consideration.
>so, in the interest of e-waste/recycling/keeping old things going I hope they reconsider the value of their already-owned hardware and how it may still continue to serve them.
In the interest of security, both theirs and the people they communicate with, I hope they consider upgrading their device to something that has a very long lifespan of active security updates.
but.. their old phone is still operating fine, it isn't even affected by the Samsung modem exploit, and best-of-all the pixel 2 is well supported by many third-party Android roms.
Parent literally has one of the best supported older phones available for third party OS installation (which, incidentally, is what parent was asking about..)
