DivestOS is my project.

Here are the nearly 200 kernel CVE patches applied on top of what Lineage provides for Pixel 2 series: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas...

Plus it just provides updates quicker, such as the recent WebP CVE was first fixed in DivestOS before other aftermarket systems. https://divestos.org/pages/news

And provides rapid out-of-band WebView updates: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt

See my other notes here: https://divestos.org/pages/patch_levels#osSecurity

And also this independent table: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

See my issue at https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/issues/18.

I'm pretty sure my DivestOS is far more free than Lineage and still completely usable: - https://divestos.org/pages/network_connections - https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/Common/Deblob.sh

hammerhead died on 15.1 because no one could get Bluetooth to reliably work on later versions.

The support is in the form of all the features, the (system) updates, and kernel patches like this: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas...

Developer told me how to add it back, but you will need to change the code a little and compile it (https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/issues/18)

eg. https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/LineageOS-18.1/CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996.sh

In the case of taimen/walleye, besides the base system hardening, there are over ~70 additional CVE patches to the kernel: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/LineageOS-19.1/CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_google_wahoo.sh

I've had another report of this and I've reverted what is likely the cause, new builds will be up in a few hours. https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/commit/dc392b17b6d5661246c98277809475a74565ad3a

This is already fixed, pending the next builds: https://divestos.org/index.php?page=news-future https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/commit/7a168302cfb14a516ec744daff31cfa11bc1d50f

So, yeah, no .deb file, no curl/wget, no apt repository that they maintain. OK, cool 😎 no problem. I'll keep looking on Ubuntu side to see if Ubuntu has something 😁 you know. I could see that GNU Aspel's appendix does seem to have a recipe for how to make it myself if I wanted to go that route, as I pointed out earlier, however, since I have Ubuntu, I kept stomping the pavement and then it happened, I was able to find sudo apt -y install aspell aspell-en instead 😊🙌

Yes, visit this website and install: https://ubuntu.com/

The Linux installation is/was Ubuntu with an encrypted LUKS partition and before applying a week-old backup I thought that there might be a change of rescuing some data.

I have corrupted and had to reinstall 4 times in my quest to get drivers for this device. Whenever I reinstall, I am missing basic packages like make, gcc, binutils, and dozens of libraries that they depend on. There are three options for a driver, either the rtl8812au driver on the ubuntu.com archives (supposed to work with 8821 models as well), the aircrack-ng driver, and the morronwr driver. The first two need dkms, which needs gcc and make, and the last just needs gcc and make regardless.
