What's /g/'s opinion on CopperheadOS?
https://copperhead.co/android/
It's a hardened custom ROM that's directly based on AOSP and is aimed to be stable, bugfree and more secure than Stock. It's only available for a handful of Nexus devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P) but Copperhead provides support for them as long as Google does, so major version updates for at least two years after launch & security updates for three years after launch along with 1.5 years after the last device is sold. The sources for Copperhead are also available on GitHub.
Although the ROM itself is available as a free download for all devices, donations are welcome and devices with CopperheadOS preinstalled can be bought from their website (for non technical users or just to support them). Directly bought devices also include web-based support.
Here is a list of their changes/additions to AOSP, in case you're interested in the technical details:

I'll stick to cyanogenmod, thanks anyways though.

Hardened towards what? Using Android you're the product yourself

You obviously haven't looked at any of the links above. It's just AOSP, without gapps if you even know what that means.
How do I learn to port ROMs? I wish to port Copperhead and Sailfish OS, but I have 0 knowledge.
My device is still getting some attention from developers but nobody is going to waste their time porting these OSes when CM13 is barely stable now.

>The drastic changes and broad device support* in Cyanogenmod also hold back new version upgrades for months. AOSP provides a robust, stable base with predictable support and security updates.
*Are they saying AOSP has a narrower range of supported devices, and that that's a good thing?

Trial and error, a lot of chatting in irc's, googling things with no results, frustration & confusion ^100

Wel, they do say that, but think about it - for Nexus owners that's good news since they'll get the updates faster than Cyanogenmod.
