Android 12 is where they started making everything worse with the quick action and settings redesign, and it’s been going downhill since.

Got a link to a compatibility list? My phones been going strong for 8 years now, I’d hate to have to replace it to escape Google.
If you want the absolute cheapest for like a test drive, the cheapest (new) phone I found, that has the USA bands at least, is the Moto G 5G 2024, compatible with both Lineage and e/OS, only like $140 unlocked, you need to connect to the internet for 7 days before you can toggle the “Bootloader Unlocking” toggle in Developer Settings, idk why, and you need an unlock code from motorola website. I did it, and successfully installed Lineage OS.
Can’t really multitask with 4gh ram tho, so you can’t really do multiapp without stuff just closing in the background, but you get privacy for cheap
Sure
Though a warning from my experience, I tries to flash a OnePlus 8 that was carrier unlocked. There seems to be a second “unlock” that you need to provide at the time of flashing and oneplus’s site never returned a value.
On the flip side, flashing a pixel tablet was trivial, two Fairphone 5’s were trivial, and I actually bought a fairphone 6 with it already loaded from Murena.
