Lineage installed and it works beautifully.

I'm going to try LineageOS first, but do you have any thoughts about CalyxOS? I'm in my last stages of degoogling so the further away I am from Google, the better. I'd love to use GrapheneOS but I can't afford a Pixel that's new enough to run it.

I have an donated Gen 1 Pixel phone so that I can experiment trying a new OS on it. I use linux mint on my laptop but still consider myself a beginner. The goal is to eventually do this to my main phone (A galaxy S8) but I wanted to get a feel for how to do it. I'm stuck on the OS, I only use the phone as a clock, texting, and occasionally a call. Internet isn't a huge deal but it'd be nice in a pinch. I'm looking for an OS that's easy to use, privacy & security. Any recommends/guides?

Fluxer is standing out with their terms and privacy policy. No data scraping and you retain ownership of your content. I have yet to fully try it out. Stoat if you want text only on desktop. Ditch discord now, they have been abusing user data and privacy for far too long. You can go to https://alternativeto.net/ and do more in depth research into alternatives.
