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?

Nuru? They renamed postmarketOS just a few days ago, can't remember how's called now. But it's compatible with non-flagship devices. Else you're into other OSes that are trying to be competitive in this ecocidal market ;•\

"Can run with ease" is a bit questionable with Nura in daily use as a main phone.

Nura is definitely not yet ready for everyone ...

"[device] can run [custom os] with ease" dixit. I agree with what you refer to, as main phone it might be uncomfortable. But I did answer what OP asked..
