The one exception to this rosy picture was transferring my SMS store.
I used SSH to login to the #Sailfish device, installed sqlite, and did a dump of the database. I transferred the dump to my PC. I converted the dump from CSV to JSON. Finally, I zipped the file for use by "SMS Import / Export".
I was pleased with myself. Then I realised that the two devices stored the data in different ways. 🙄 For example, the LOS device needs a "thread_id". Bummer!
I might revisit this later.

Moving from #Sailfish back to #LineageOS was fairly pain free.
Installation of LOS was as seamless as ever. The docs are really superb. Motorola provide an online mechanism to unlock the bootloader, which makes life much easier.
Moving my data was straightforward, with one exception. My photos and music were transferred from my SD card. Nextcloud stuff was synced. I don't have my Contacts and Calendar in the Cloud. I make it a policy to use apps which support both import and export.

Motorola Edge 20
I sourced this 'phone last year in my frantic search for a device which could run #LineageOS and handle VoLTE on Three. Subsequently, I moved to EE, and got an Xperia to run #Sailfish. This 'phone has been sitting on a shelf ever since.
As the photo shows it is now running LOS. More about that later.
This is the first 'phone I've used that doesn't have a MicroSD slot. Half the 128GB has gone already.
No notification LED, either.
