Anybody use LineageOS on their Android phone?

I've been wanting to replace my old Cyanogenmod phone because of the t-mobile 3g phaseout, but I'm finding it all very confusing. I need an unlocked phone that I can put LineageOS (the successor to Cyanogenmod) on because I detest stock Android. It should be SIM and allow SD memory cards, but I don't care about cameras or graphic quality much. It should support Bluetooth and Wifi, but I assume most do these days. 4g LTE and up, obviously.

Can anyone recommend an (unlocked) model phone or suggest some resources? I installed the Cyanogenmod myself back in the day, so I know about rooting phones and I'm not afraid to risk bricking a phone.

However, I find most of what's written on lineageos.org to be word salad or walls of text, or at best muddled. I'm also having trouble searching Amazon for the model numbers given on lineageos.org as my searches usually return completely different phone models.

Sorry, I realise I'm not writing all that clearly myself right here, but I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

About Ron Obvious

I got the nickname Ron Obvious because -- in addition to being a huge Python fan -- my name really is Ron and I used to start sentences with \"Obviously\" a lot. Obviously, that\'s no longer a problem.
