Nura is definitely not yet ready for everyone …

LineageOS supports so many old phones, but no verified boot (bootloader relocking).
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/I haven’t tried it, but I used its predecessor CyanogenMod for years without issues.
.
/e/OS (a beginner-friendly derivative of LineageOS) also supports many old phones without verified boot. Some newer ones can verified-boot.

The better supported ones are “official” builds while the others are “community”.
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/?channel=officialI’ve been using /e/OS community release on a Sony phone for 1.5 years. It’s okay. Most apps work with MicroG. Bootloader not lockable, but apps don’t notice.
Some bugs:
- Locked-screen camera lauch long-pressing the shutter button doesn’t work (have to unlock first)
- The arrow on the screen pointing at the side-mounted fingerprint reader points at the wrong place
- The setting about never rotating the home screen when turning the phone on its side doesn’t work, it just keeps rotating

iodéOS, another LineageOS derivative, has verified boot on some devices:

CalyxOS supports some Motorolas:

Not sure if Sony Xperia 10 III is “cheap” yet, but it can run Jolla’s Sailfish OS Linux.
I haven’t tried a Jolla Phone.
