I'm in the US and poor (shocker) and cannot afford a new phone. Are there any alternatives to base Android that I'm unaware of? There's an article on how to switch it to LineageOS, but I feel like that is a brick waiting to happen since I've been to LineageOS' page and they mention nothing about support for my device. Am I just SOL until I can manage to get a new phone?

If you do end up having to wait until you get a new phone, you could disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store, and that would help quite a bit.
