Do you have to manually install every new version of lineage OS ?

[Jerzyghost]

I was just wondering if this Android operating system self updates the way let's say Google apps update when there is a revision or do you have to update it manually and install a new version Everytime there is an update?? Sorry if this is a dumb question but in new to this scene

If this was just a regular phone with lineage os, you could update it to a new version by flashing it through TWRP. But since this is a Nintendo Switch we are talking about, hard to say since you need to download a whole image of android for the switch. Plus the size of the image varies a lot from 16 GB to 128 GB. I would join switchroot discord and ask them if they could implement it.

They said updates would be released as flashable zips. That's how custom roms usually do it. But no reason we can't have an OTA updater app that downloads the zip and reboots into recovery to do the flash like many custom roms have.
