LineageOS reports 827,577 active installations across its device ecosystem, with the waydroid_x86_64 Android-on-Linux container leading at 231,742 installs — nearly 28% of the total. The dominance of Waydroid signals heavy developer and enthusiast adoption for testing, CI/CD pipelines, and desktop Linux integration rather than daily-driver phone usage. Xiaomi's dipper (Mi 8) follows at 111,184 installs, while dozens of legacy devices like whyred (Redmi Note 5) and lavender (Redmi Note 7) maintain thousands of active users each, demonstrating the project's long-tail support for hardware abandoned by OEMs.

Geographically, the United States tops country rankings with 338,992 installs, edging out China at 297,862 and Brazil at 280,553. The top three nations account for roughly 60% of all active devices. Russia, Vietnam, and Indonesia round out the next tier, each between 39,000–62,000 installs. Notably, 36,823 installs report from an unknown locale, likely reflecting privacy-conscious users or VPN routing.

The distribution reveals a bifurcated user base: virtualized environments and a handful of popular Xiaomi/OnePlus devices drive volume, while hundreds of codenamed devices — many with sub-1,000 installs — represent the community's commitment to device longevity. This data underscores LineageOS's role as both a developer platform and a lifeline for unsupported hardware.
