    How hard is it to port LOS? I’ve been wanting to do it for a couple obscure devices I have but I’ve read the documentation and felt overwhelmed.

      Its hard but rewarding, and perfectly doable given you want to do it.

      Note that there are a few mandatory requirements for a port to be feasible, like unlocked bootloader and vendor sources available for kernel.

      As newby, you also want already existing ports to start from.

      Also, some powerful hardware to build on (32+gb ram, 10+ cores, 100+GB storage).

      Also older (up to A11) can be real bitches, after A12 things are improving a bit.
