I am in no way a expert but for what I have seen (especially) on Lineage OS roms all the builds are nightly and they come out every three or four days. Why is that there is no stable versions for people that don't want to update that often (since the update process can sometimes be a bit tricky). Another related question: does updating to a newer version (but same rom) implies the loss of user data?
Have you ever tried LineageOS 15.1 extended edition?
I've been using it since September 2018, it's stable and customizable unlike LOS 15.1

No, I haven't tried that rom. I honestly don't care much about customization. I have just got tired of MIUI and wanted a change maybe to a clean Android experience. What do you think about the resurrection remix rom?

Before someone comments that I should try a few by myself and choose myself, hear me out. I'm installing this on my mom's phone, and replacing MIUI because its getting really laggy. I use a different phone so here looking for recommendation. Should be stable with frequent updates. Thanks a lot guys in advance.
i dont think installing custom rom on "mom's phone" is a good idea -_-
BTW, miui is not laggy (seriously, how can u say that miui is laggy??)
if you're getting trouble with miui, factory reset the phone, or fastboot flash latest miui stable rom.
better not to experiment parent's phone with custom roms
here is some recommendation (as u asked for it)
1. Nitrogen OS ( Based on Nougat, for great battery backup )
2. Resurrection Remix ( Based on both Marshmallow & Nougat, for better customization)
3. Linage OS 14.1 ( Based on Nougat, better stability)
nitrogen OS for better battery (31.03 build) and Lineage for better stability, as simoom said. Both are actually really stable but lineage is bugfree and it has franco's support for its legendary kernel
Btw, i'm currently using nitrogen 31.03 build and i can't complain of almost anything. There's just some sort of hanging, rarely tho, at opening some apps, lasts about 2 seconds, but happens under unknown circumstances. I gotta say i haven't ever found a bug on Lineage, but the battery on Nitrogen is double the better than on Lineage

It is laggy IMO. I use a Nexus 4 and that's faster than note 3. Maybe because of numerous bloatware and mi services. Thanks for the recommendation, will try nitrogen os.

Well, as i said, i never had an issue with lineage, nor camera since the camera patch.
Latest versions of miui i heard have heavily improved in terms.of performance and battery.
Miui is better than every other rom in terms of stability however lineage is also good
And rn3 have very good support of community
if you are going to install on your mom's phone then only 1 option: LineageOS official Nightly.
What are your opinions on resurrection remix vs lineage is at their current and future stages? I just received my mido from China and I would like to install a custom rom into it. I'm torn between lineage and resurrection. What makes lineage better than resurrection, as RR has much better customisation but I'm concerned about updates. Which is better in you opinion?
I'm looking for stability over customisations.
I had been using Cyanogenmod/Lineage on a Samsung S3 Mini and my current Moto G 4G. I found them to be similar in terms of stability and never encountered any deal-breaking bugs on both operating systems. Back when I started using Custom OSes on the little Samsung, I installed every single ROM update as soon as I could. That has changed, and I update every 1-3 months if there are no major issues. I prefer Resurrection Remix because of its better customization options and when my Redmi Note 4 arrives in what I hope to be 2 weeks' time, I'll install RR on that one as well.
On my RN3P ive been using RR for a long time. First marshmallow release and now the nougat release. What I experienced there is a faster bug fixing (camera nougat patch has been included way faster in official builds then on lineage) and a very active community on XDA.
Flashed my Mido yesterday with RR and I'm pretty happy with it. Camera shutter has a delay and video recording is kinda slow but beside of that everything works out of the box for me. I tried lineage several times but I miss so many functions which are only available on RR...
Is lineage updated more regularly? As there have barely been updates for RR since it's release for mido

Both will get updates, as dev said LineageOS going to be official once the kernel sources gets released, you know about RR, it's already Official.
rr is more flexible and complicated while lineage is stable
I installed today LineageOS latest version and now I find it has something missing like "no blue filtering" mode. In addition, After installing even today I got a pop saying to install latest update and went for this too but don't know why the downloading gets stopped suddenly after sometime. I noticed this to happen more than 5 time. Now I give up updating and considering to move to Remix.
I recommend RR
I used both of them. But I feel RR is more customizable, flexible, complicated & stable. I recommend to flash RR who want to mess up with all UI.
Came across this, thought I'd share my views. I bought this phone 2 days ago and am waiting for the bootloader to unlock thereafter once I'm done playing with the stock ROM, will promptly Install CrDroid.
I've had CrDroid on my Honor 5x & HTC one m8, never encountered any issues and found it to be very stable with all features working.
If I recall it's derived of both Lineage + RR and that's evident through the customisation it offers + stability - maybe you can give that a try?
The situation with Nougat ROMs is a bit confusing for me so I have several questions:
First question:
@andr68rus is working on several N ROMs at the same time:
Resurrection Remix
Dirty Unicorns 7.1.2
AOKP ROM for LeMax 2
Can you tell which one's the best, most future proof project? Did he even stop maintaining on of them?
Second question:
What about the official Lineage Builds?
How well maintained are they? Is this the way to go in the future?
Third question: I'm currently using TeamWin twrp-3.0.2-1-x2. Do I need a new TWRP for N?
Thanks for eventual help.
Aside from Dirty Unicorns, most of the ROMs are Lineage based. I believe @andr68rus is taking a break from DU to focus on resolving issues in the Lineage based ROMs he's building.
In fact, I believe most of the Nougat ROMs (not just andr68us') are based off the work done for Lineage 14.1 so it will probably be the best maintained. I've switched to the Unofficial Lineage 14.1 for now and probably will go with the Official (assuming it goes official, though I don't see why it wouldn't) unless some other ROM has a feature that's "must have" to me.
With regards to TWRP, I think your's should be fine, but you might want to give MultiROM a try so you can switch between ROMs. I currently have LOS 14.1 as my internal, and DU 7.1.2 & AOKP - MM as secondaries. I'm using Lineage as my daily driver, but it's nice to know I can boot back to AOKP if I have an issue. I didn't have problems with DU, but I didn't place any calls and I saw some complaints about things like echo and call volume, which is why I went to Lineage. DU did feel a bit "smoother' to me, but I'm not sure if it's just placebo because it was the first Nougat ROM I used, or if it's because it's AOSP rather than Lineage based.
When using MultiROM, just don't freak out if flashing a ROM messes up your PIN codes in all your other ROMs. There's a flashable zip to remove the pin codes from a ROM (which really just deletes a few files) and afterwards you can add you PIN back.
Thanks for the answer. With Official Lineage I've meant the ROMs from download[DOT]lineageos[DOT]org/x2 . The thing I don't understand is how well maintained that is. Do they have their own people working on the ROM, or are those people from here?
Edit: I just realized that the ROMs there are 13.0 which is supposedly Android 6.0. So there are no official Lineage 14 ROMs jet. That's where my confusion came from.

ROMs based on similar device tree (except DU), so get rom what your like. I use RR.

I'm using your Lineage 13.0 UNOFFICIAL atm. I've tried AOKP but the battery drain was too high. The 13.0 seems fine. I guess I'll wait a bit till the N ROMs a more mature.
This is my first time installing a rom on a xiaomi, i already unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
I had consider installing Dot Os Rom but there are some comments that said that there is a slow charging issue. Right now im between Pixel Experience Rom and Lineage OS; does this ones have big bugs? i mean i want a daily driver rom . What are your recommendations? Or should i stay on miui?

In general you can say that Nougat is more stable than Oreo and has better battery life.
If you don't mind waiting till Monday and can live with a few bugs, go with LineageOS 15.1 Official (based on Oreo).
Currently I'm using LineageOS 14.1 Official. Bug free for me, stable, good battery life and updates every week.
The problem with most ROMs is actually that at some point the developer decides to drop support for a ROM and moves on the another ROM or phone. You are then left with a ROM with bugs and unfixed security holes.
That won't happen when using LineageOS official builds
Currently I am on DoTOS_2.5 (oreo)which is quite stable. Despite the release of Android Pie, I can't find any decent ROM without any bugs in end of the discussion. Most ROMs I've tried have bugs this and that. I've tried DoTOS_3.0, HavocOS_latest.
So, if you've got a decent pie rom, do share here. ::angel:

They all have bugs. MIUI, Custom ROM Oreo & Pie. It just depends on which bugs you can live with.
I flashed the latest official AOSiP Pie ROM a couple of days ago and I'm happy with it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../rom-android-source-illusion-project-t3929008
I like Havoc.
Try superior os.
I used pixel experience aosp 9th may update and resurrection remix latest version they both ran fine without any noticeable bugs.
If you a little bit more smoother rom then try pixel experience april update rom 20190403, this is the best pixel experience rom the one I personally use till date but it has a bug ie., screen pinning doesn't work, rest all runs fine.
So much Pie roms stable now. try check aryan kedare's updates
