I am currently using a Pixel 6a, with GrapheneOS.

However, since Google's update to the battery, my phone is discharging very fast (talking about one percent per minute).

I have looked at changing the battery myself, however it seems to be a bit over my skill level. So, I am in the market for a new phone. (And quite pissed off at Google, especially since they announced the changes to signing, apks, the issues with graphene,...

This time, I would like :

maybe try Linux?
a headphone Jack

I have been looking at postmarket OS, however every supported device is quite old, and I'm not sure if/ how much they are usable today.

I looked at fairphone, but FP5&6 don't support postmarket OS and don't have a headphone Jack.

Currently, I am looking at the Jolla Phone (running SailfishOS), as it has a Jack, and runs Linux.

Do you know of other options, what would you recommend?

Fairphone 4. Ubuntu Touch is supported at a manufacturer level, it supports Postmarket OS, easy user serviceable, SD card slot (which apparently is rare now). No headphone jack but that's about the only downside. I'm running one with Calyx and while it is a little older of a phone - it's perfectly fine.
