I'm very happy with the compromise offered by LineageOS between a Googled phone and a free OS. LineageOS support was a hard requirement for me while choosing my current phone.
Can you still install Lineage OS on a flagship modern phone?
You'd need to check for a specific device in their wiki but I'd be rare if they don't support ir or that they aren't working to port it to a device
I run it on my Oneplus 12, a couple years omd but I'd consider it a modern flagship.
What about huawei phones?
They don't run Android but their own custom OS.
Their own made-in-house alternate custom-os I'd like to specify, incompatible with android apks as of the latest
Two, if you count users who have never sideloaded anything and never will.
Edit: It seems some of you are absolutely livid about the fact that normal, non-tech minded people exist.
