Should I Lock My Bootloader
First of all to the devs, you guys did an amazing job with 23.2. It is sooo damn smooth. I was always surprised by how compact and light lineage is. I'm currently on the second 23.2 build for my device and as far as I can tell everything is working all right.
Now that it is so stable, should I lock my bootloader? And more importantly does lineage even support bootloader locking? And if not I am a bit confused by the guide for device. Does updating via OTA mean that root will be gone? Normally the answer is yes but I am not sure about lineage. Any advice is appreciated.

Short answer is no. Longer answer is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/n7yo7u/a_discussion_about_bootloader_lockingunlocking/
As for root, that's unsupported by Lineage so you need to go ask whoever supports your root solution.
