FP5 is not available in the US, and FP4 has about 2-3 years of support left.
Pixel is the only real option, at least till Google does the embrace and extinguish strategy and fucks the custom ROM community over.
OnePlus devices no longer have much custom ROM support because they took away the unbrick tool.
I think Nokia devices don’t have an unbrick tool either.
Motorola devices can be unlocked but not much custom ROM support (at least, from Lineage OS) either.
Which options are you talking about? I can hardly see anything other than the Pixels for devices released in 2023 in terms of custom ROMs. At this rate, I’m OK with having to manually patch security updates with Magisk every time and sideload (need to figure out how I will back up my device, do not fancy a factory reset every time)
Edit: would you happen to know how one can apply security patches with KernelSU?
