    Search for lineage os your phone model if you’re lucky someone will have ported the project to your device, the more popular it was the more likely

    There are reasonable instructions

    Your phone will need an unlocked bootloader, and it will not be able to be locked again while running lineage. This will prevent the use of any secure software which includes most bank apps, login authenticators. Local security is entirely bypassed by the unlocked bootloader

      The problem with Samsungs is thar once unlocked, you permanently burn the knox security fuse. So, even if you re-lock it, it’s not going to play nice with banking apps. It’s a one-way install only. Also I’m not so sure how LOS plays with banking apps… The only one that allows full re-lock AFAIK is the Pixel (which is what I have now, after nearly a decade on Samsung).
