Due to some damaged hardware, it’s about time for me to get a new phone. For my next device, I’m looking to use use LineageOS

Does anyone have suggestions for a used device with good LineageOS support? I’m looking for something decent but not too expensive with good compatibility. Any other tips for a new user?

    Have you looked into grapheneos? They support some older pixel versions. I’ve been using it on a 7 pro for about a year and prefer it to lineageos. Specially if you use apps that require play services to run.

      Yeah, I’m not committed to LineageOS, it just seems like the most well known/default option in this space. What do you like about Graphene?

        I’d say ease of use is up there, lot’s of apps just won’t run without google services. Graphene has the ability to run google apps within a strict sandbox, which can be great paired with separate profiles for different purposes. It’s really clean and user friendly, while still putting security and privacy at the forefront. I quite enjoy the default app as well, except for the messaging service, which I find lacking in basic features.
