Android 12L? - General Questions and Answers

Is there a point to use Android 12L instead of stock Android and how would it affect rooting?

AFAIK Android 12L is an optimized Android 12 to be used on large screens as they come with tablets and foldables, nothing else.

[Q] A few (partially technical) questions about Android Go

Welcome,
I have some (partially technical) questions regarding the lighter version of Android - Android Go (Oreo Edition).
1. Does Android Go provide full support for applications dedicated to "normal" Android? Has it been somehow trimmed in terms of compatibility?
Of course, I omit porting an application to newer Android version in general. Rather a comparison with "full" Android Oreo or other versions.
2. Does Android Go also support Project Treble enabled drivers?
3. Does the obligation of supplying Project Treble enabled vendor implementation and minimum 4.4 kernel version for devices shipping with Android 8 refer also to Android Go?

Sailfish OS (I have made Aliendalvik work on older version, latest CM13 base is a problem to run android apps, on older version 95% android apps work. On nexus 4 ALL 100% android apps work on sailfish OS with older CM11 base 2.0.5.6 version of sailfish. I have those packages if you'll need them), Ubuntu touch, Postmarket OS (Looks great uses much newer kernel version, but is unusable as daily driver and as phone at all), LuneOS, Firefox OS (This is dead for some years now)

How to run apps for android 7.0+ on Android 6.0?

My smartwatch have android 6.0. Is there any way to install apps for newer android version? I tried downloading .APK and edit SDK, but it didn't worked.
An app compiled for Android 7 and higher never works on Android 6 and lower.

Stock Android 10 vs. Android 11

Has Somebody relevant experiences at Pixel 4a with both A10 & A11?
I'd like to have a one time set phone what is rooted and will not be updated for the nearly future, so based one of the final stock version of A10 or A11.
I have a preconception that newer firmwares with the new services requires more system resource.
But maybe there is not too much demand differences between A10 and A11.
After the daily good performance the secondary demand is rootability. Maybe with Magisk that's easy at both Android version...
What do You think or suggest? Thanks!
If you want to root and limit resource usage you might be better off with something like LineageOS.
