CyanogenMod, which was the base of most custom Android ROMs at one point. After taking venture funding, incompetent business majors crashed and burned the project trying to commercialize it. It was then forked and LineageOS was born.

My big question is, why not fork the original first and commercialize that instead. So much forking around the wrong ways! /s

MBAs love taking an existing brand and sucking whatever value they can extract. Like chupacabras but for functioning and useful products.

Because business majors only know how to exploit good things that would be better off without them.

If the good thing is left to just be better off without them – while they fuck around with a separate thing – then people will never be interested in the business majors’ product.

I remember hearing about Cyanogen way back when, didn’t realize LineageOS was forked from it
