Rubbished may be overstating it, I don't recall exactly. And it sounds like you and I installed Magisk differently. I installed the apk normally on the phone like any other app, then downloaded the boot image corresponding to the current version of LOS, then had the Magisk app patch that boot image, then used a PC with adb to fastboot flash the patched image back to the pro1x.
If anyone else here did Magisk that way, then to preserve root with OTA updates of LOS, I recommend doing the "interrupted OTA and install to inactive slot" trick that I mentioned above. It saves a bunch of hassle.
@CornholioGSMCan the bootloader be unlocked for the Blackberry Priv now too? I flipped through the Discord pages on these Blackberry projects, and although there was a guy claiming he had unlocked the Priv bootloader 6 months ago and promised a "How To" manual, nothing seemed to have followed. First he claimed it required a new EMMC soldered in with a patched rom, then he claimed a subsequent software-only exploit. No patch files visible to me anywhere on the Discord, though.
I'd love to get my Priv going again with LOS.

And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.
Looks as if they pulled it off--the first proof I've seen of the phone truly functioning.
Love the text rendering, a Kindle party, but not sure about e-ink browsing, etc. Well, they said it was going to be minimal...
I doubt I "rubbished" you as that is generally not my style. All I see in that thread is us kind of agreeing on what works. Lol.
Basically, what works for me (and I can only vouch for me) is that I side load Magisk as a zip when I first install a full version of LOS, then open the app and let it do the automatic install which takes care of the whole patching the boot sector. After that, OTA always maintains root. But as long as you have found a method that works for you, that's great.
