That’s odd, I can remember back in my day that Samsung-s were like the first thing they poked with because pretty much everyone used Samsung phones. Maybe they did something to their bootloader or something…?
I won’t blame you for not knowing, though, but now that the writing is on the wall, better be sure before buying another phone about compatibility for third party OSes, if not one that comes with one already installed
Yeah you really need to check the Wiki before shopping. OnePlus is a pretty good choice. That’s what I had until switching to GrapheneOS (Pixel devices only for now, something from Moto next year).
You’d need to check for a specific device in their wiki but I’d be rare if they don’t support ir or that they aren’t working to port it to a device
Oddly I’m yet to own a device they do support.
I suppose it’s mostly my fault as I’ve not proactively searched before purchasing.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy the supported devices are pretty grim.

Samsung no longer has unlock able boot AFAIK
Yes absolutely 👍
I’m also courting the idea of using a Sailfish OS phone.

if you can unlock the phone, you can install a treble GSI build of lineageos
I must look this up. I’m fairly certain the phone is easily unlocked.
