I was actually thinking about this, oneplus 6/6T seems to be well supported by ubuntu touch, mobian and postmarket os, and it can be pretty cheap compared to new linux first devices!
But the non-replaceable battery is a pain in the ass, didn’t know about the oled thing, will keep in mind…
the battery replacement is non trivial. the glass back is incredibly fragile. maybe ok for someone experienced with opening these up with a heat gun and etc but when I tried it I completely destroyed the back.
