Flashing the LineageOS build should be fairly simple if you already have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery like TWRP installed on your smartphone. Do not forget to take a backup of your important data beforehand and follow the step-by-step flashing instructions given by the developer to avoid problems.
To the disappointment of owners of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9, Redmi Note 7 and OPPO Find 7, official support for these devices has been discontinued, meaning they will not receive any new buildings in the future. XDA approved developer erfanoabdi cites lack of time and loss of access to the device as the respective reasons for terminating support for the Galaxy S9 / Galaxy Note 9 and Redmi Note 7. Similarly, mikeNG also mention that there is not enough time as a reason for ending the support for the OPPO Find 7. You can hold the last night or search for alternative ROMs on the XDA forum of your respective devices.
