Anyone running LineageOS 20 on Oneplus 5?

Lately my OP5 started acting super weirdly - off screen gestures not working (need to power the screen on and off), 1-2s lags when navigating the apps and system, saving video takes sometimes like minutes...

I wanted to do a factory reset but I also like the idea of upgrading to A13 with LineageOS with newer security updates and better customization. (OP5 is officialy on September 2020 security update)

One big problem with my plan: banking apps and other apps relying on device integrity.

It seems it can be fixed with Magisk, right?

From my research I have to do:

1) Follow this guide to install LineageOS 20 - seems easy

  • sideload lineage recovery, LineageOS and then MindTheGApps

2) Follow this guide to install Magisk - seems not so easy

    There is a lot of stuff I have to take into account like:

  • Install Magisk app?

  • "If you plan to also install custom kernels, install it after Magisk" Does that affect me?

  • " If your device has boot ramdisk" I don't know? + there is a warning " Unfortunately, there are exceptions as some devices’ bootloader accepts ramdisk even if it shouldn’t "

  • Now I have to patch images?

  • OR I found someone just renames the Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and sideload it in recovery?

  • Okay, now I have magisk, what now? install some safety net modules?

Is it even possible to achieve this with OP5?

Any soul that could guide me? Thanks!!!

To anyone reading this with similar questions:

I successfully installed LOS and Magisk by simply flashing magisk.zip (renamed from .apk) right after LOS and GApps.

I also am able to pass safety net by installing the Magisk module.

Problem is with banking apps. They see root no matter what I tried.

My main bank allows me to acknowledge the risks with root and still lets me use it. The second one refuses to activate.

Other than that LOS is amazing!
