From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would have to dispute your claims on this one. The only really modern mobiles running Lineage OS (by modern I mean released in this year and the previous year) are perhaps some European Xiaomi/Realme devices, maybe a couple of Samsungs, the last-gen OnePlus and some Motorola devices, and the Pixels.
As I have been complaining for a long while now, the entire custom ROM market is moving towards the Pixels, which is a dreadful move in my opinion, but what I can do
It's mostly up to which manufacturers allow boot loader unlocking.
The pixels are somewhat a continuation of the nexus line which were more developer centric.
Motorola edge 30 runs just fine and has done practically since it launched, typing this on it now
In Europe? AFAIK Motorola's latest devices don't have builds on the Lineage OS website (from 2023) but I might be wrong.
Yeah, my Motorola g73 isn't supported.
Yeah
