Just because the internet of things was two hype cycles ago doesn't mean we can't still dunk on it.

Ah dang, regretting buying a unihertz phone now

Which Unihertz phone? People have reported successfully running LineageOS on Jelly Star and Jelly 2. The builds they're using were updated within the past month, and are maintained by a recognized contributor.

Warning: On every device I've installed LineageOS (6 of them so far), I've accidentally soft-bricked it and had to restore it before doing it correctly. So back everything up that you don't want to lose.

Jelly Star. Any recs for how to back up my phone?

Probably using TWRP. Note that the backup is only good for before you switch to LineageOS. After you're on LineageOS, you'll need to make a new backup.
