Hi All,
I have some questions related to the need of installing Lineage OS along Sailfish OS :
- why is it necessary? What is its role?
- can you please confirm Sailfish be a Linux based OS? If yes, why does it need an Android distribution?
- Why Lineage 14? It is quite old (Android 7), therefore vulnerable in terms of security.
- Is it for dual boot? Or Sailfish runs on top of Lineage (like with a virtual machine)?
- how much space and overall resources do the whole installation and use require?
Thanks in advance

upgrade to 3.0.0.8(only on testing branch), devel branch need obs maintainer change latest repo to 3.0.0.8.
If you are on testing branch, you can use ssu re 3.0.0.8 and version --dup to upgrade now.
If you are on devel branch, you need to wait a little longer.
