I use pixel with CalyxOS. I'm pritty happy with it. Its easy to setup but you do need a pixel phone for it to work.
Looks like it also support fairphone which I'vr heard about. It supports really old pixels too! 'cause I don't really play games or use the camera much so something older/refurbished I wouldn't mind.
Until recently I used CalyxOS with my old Pixel 3 and it's amazing how the Calyx team prolonged it's life
not only did they push one Android version more than Google ever did (and probably also will support Android 14 on it), while fixing the security incident with the lock screen and also made the battery life better due to not shipping Google Play services which drain it like crazy
That's really exciting, I usually keeps phones for a very long time, but the problem that always gets them is having battery problems.
