I glanced at Ubuntu Touch, but its device compatibility looked severely lacking (https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/).... I have old Pixel phones I could potentially try it out on, but the last Pixel phone that is officially supported is the 3a. So that is a bummer.

Device compatibility is not a feature occurred naturally, it's the result of people wanting and then working to get it supported.

So, if you're interested in adding more devices, join the community and see what you can do!

    Chicken egg situation. I would be interested to contribute, but I cannot run it on any of my devices. Alas I am not contributing.

There are decent Linux phones you can buy now, such as the FuriPhone FLX1 (Debian), Volla Quintus (Ubuntu Touch), Jolla C2 (SailfishOS) etc. The best part is that all of them also support running Android apps (via Waydroid or similar compatibility layer), so you get the best of both worlds.
