I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I've read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you're supposed to install graphene on because it's from google (an advertising company).

Another option would be lineage OS, but there is so much false information about this OS, namely compatible phones that simply don't work with this OS and no support.

what works for you? I want a phone with no google, that doesn't force me to use the manufacturer's ecosystem and that won't show the apps I don't want or need (on an asus I own you cannot neither get rid nor hide bloatware)

Mobian/Droidian is also worth looking into and of course Ubuntu Touch.

This community isn't about Android ROMs though.

Ubuntu Touch

does it spam users for subscriptions with ubuntu pro or other services each time the user updates or upgrades, even if done with the terminal?

No, ubports not affiliated with Canonical. They are a free open source community driven project and people would just yank that shit out.
