Yeah, that’s why I don’t like people saying it’s “GOS or nothing”.
Actually, it’s sadly not “basically every phone” - some brands make bootloader unlocking hard or very complicated. And my old phone was one of such, not even in the list of supported devices.
Indeed that’s why people should learn from it and not buy such crap in the future. If it’s not a lineage official supported device next step is xda forums for a rom. And if its really bad at least root the stock one and remove/block the worst of it. I rarely seen a phone where there is nothing to do at all but the junk heap
Used phones exist. GOS is not the only option either. So basically any phone can be improved with at least lineage.
