This is why I install LineageOS on every new Android phone I buy.
Currently rocking an S8. With the original software it’s really hard to use since the RAM is filling up fast. With LineageOS it’s still an awesome phone.
Samsung made two different variants of the Galaxy S8 line - one with their own Exynos processors (the good one) and one with Qualcomm processors (the shitty ones).
Only Exynos devices have LineageOS. I guess that’s why they’re not listed as officially supported.
The same developer also made newer releases already. It’s rock-solid and everything works.
For good camera support I recommend using IDans Gcam mod (Mod8.3b_IDan_v4.7_test2.apk). You can enable HDR and three different modes (Day, Night and Dark) as an overlay over the camera’s live view and the photo quality is mostly as good as stock, if not even better. It’s a bit buggy when trying to view the photos inside the camera app so I have to use the Gallery a lot, but that’s just a minor nuisance.

I currently run LOS 18.1 (based on Android 11) on my S8, it’s available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-signature-spoofing-microg-support-ota-updates-lineageos-18-1-for-s8-s8-note8.4332029/

Ah glad to see the jumping to conclusions and overreacting has made it’s way over from reddit.
As if a manufacturer hasn’t changed in around a decade and this user not sharing other facts like carrier, unlocked, country, phone model, etc.
