Where can I find the best Android alternative for my old-ass devices that don't support Lineage OS?
For most of those devices, it depends what your goals are, but many privacy minded folks consider them unsalvageable.
If you can root the device, you could install the latest compatible version of the Android Open Source Project, and then use your newfound root powers to disable components you don't want, to the extent that the older versions of Android support doing so.
Technically, that's all LineageOS is doing for you. So if you're willing to put the effort in, the device can be salvaged. For most of us, it makes more sense to get a newer device, researching what OS-es are supported.
