I used to spend so much time flashing different ROMs, and even cooking a few modifications of my own. These days I find it much easier just to buy first-party devices like a Pixel and just move on with my day. They seem to have the least 'gotchas' in my experience. Stuff is unlocked, it gets updates, and doesn't have bloat/malware baked in.
