Moto G 5G 2024 is supported by Lineage OS anf CalyxOS (Calyx temporarily paused development for now), it’s around $200 USD ($140 on discount right now) is supposedly unlockable, although you need an internet connection and request unlock codes from Motorola, which is… not exactly comforting because they could turn off the unlock servers at any time. (And carrier variants aren’t unlockable afaik). Disclaimer: Haven’t tried it yet… probably getting one soon to try unlocking (if unlocking fails, I’m just gonna return it)
I need to wait. Custom roms development for my new phone has only just started. Right now, there are only beta releases of LineageOS (unofficial). It doesn’t look that bad even though it has a MediaTek SoC.

Custom ROMs need the boot loader to be unlocked. These are getting harder and harder to find at reasonable price points.
TBH you should be moving to custom ROMs now and not later (Lemmy moment)

Moving to Calyx once they restart development.
