I’m in the US and poor (shocker) and cannot afford a new phone. Are there any alternatives to base Android that I’m unaware of? There’s an article on how to switch it to LineageOS, but I feel like that is a brick waiting to happen since I’ve been to LineageOS’ page and they mention nothing about support for my device. Am I just SOL until I can manage to get a new phone?

    Could you find something used but supported by Lineage OS? Maybe you could get a older phone and then sell your current device.

    A old worn phone shouldn’t be super expensive. For instance I can find my current device (moto g7 power which I bought new in 2019) for around $50-$70 used on eBay. There are plenty of used devices that can be had for less than 100.
