LineageOS for example has support for a huge list of devices. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ There is also a version of Lineage that comes with microG preinstalled and it supports all the same devices. https://lineage.microg.org/ Installing a custom OS isnt super hard but if you arent familiar with using a terminal and such it might be a bit daunting of a project.
