Due to some damaged hardware, it's about time for me to get a new phone. For my next device, I'm looking to use use LineageOS

Does anyone have suggestions for a used device with good LineageOS support? I'm looking for something decent but not too expensive with good compatibility. Any other tips for a new user?

It depends on what counts as decent and not too expensive for you to some extent. I have a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with Lineageos 20. I'm very happy with it: quite cheap as it's four years or so old, runs Lineageos perfectly, and I like smaller-sized phones.

Depending on where you live... Fairphone! Its an ethically sourced and manufactured smart phone that you can buy preloaded with e/os (a fork of lineage).

Sony's and Pixel's are great devices to be used with LineageOS

Have you looked into grapheneos? They support some older pixel versions. I've been using it on a 7 pro for about a year and prefer it to lineageos. Specially if you use apps that require play services to run.

Might wanna take a look at louis Rossman recent video on grapheneOS

Tldr it's probably still a good OS, but there's some things about the dev that are off putting.

I've seen it. The problem Dev has stepped down.
