Ive wanted to try custom phone os's but im not sure where to start, my phones are not supported from the few ive gathered over time also most of them are "trash" as some may say. So im wondering what phone to get and where from, also what mobile os do your prefer over other ones?

does this vary on multiple factors?

I think the pixel 6 loses support this month but, 7s and up are relatively cheap used and can use graphene OS. (Comment posted from pixel 8 running Graphene OS)

I wonder which is more secure, expired GrapheneOS or up-to-date lesser AOSP-derivatives with bootloader locking?

Hmmm idk. I guess anything with lack of support and updates can leave it vulnerable. Bit graphene is already miles ahead of Google on security. 🤷‍♀️
