Lineage-22.1-20250317-NIGHTLY-pro1x with March 1st security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps15, and root was maintained. Although the changelog shows "LineageOS 22.2 android_vendor_lineage" has been added, there is no indication that the version number on the ROM itself has been changed yet.

(lineage-22.1-20250315-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on February 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-15.0.0-arm64-20240928_150548) And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.

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.

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.
