Are there any de-googled/maintained operating systems I can use with a Moto G Stylus 5G 2021?

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?

look on XDA developers forum for your model. They usually have plenty of alternative ROMs

The critical thing is having unlock and recovery for the model. Without that, it can’t generally be reflashed.
