LineageOS no root despite installed addonsu

[papperlapapp]

SOLVED
I just learned, addonsu is no longer supported by LOS 17.x
Magisk is the way to go

mod can delete this question if desired


I put LOS 17.1 on my G7plus and installed addonsu-16.0-arm64 via adb sideload.

After rebooting I see no root option in the developer options, nowhere anything about root...

installing addon-su-16.0 succeeded, there was no error message...
What could have gone wrong or what am i missing?

Thanks

They removed addonsu for LineageOS 17.
LineageOS is dropping its own superuser implementation, making Magisk the de facto solution
