New OS for Pixel 3

I have an ancient Pixel 3 that still works. I'd like to install a new, third-party OS. Which would you recommend?

I can see that there are many: Lineage, Calyx, /e/, Graphene, .... How do I make the decision? Can all of them work on a phone as old as my Pixel 3?

Edit: holy shit, I just installed Lineage OS on my lunch break! I've installed "alternative" OSes before on computers but never on a phone. I just followed the instructions (which were a little confusing as there were nested steps) and it's up and running!

Yep, it's that easy. I have it on my pixel 2xl, degoogled and it's still usable {android 14)

If you want something like graphene or calyx (I.e. with additional de-googling and security improvements), take a look at DivestOS: https://divestos.org/pages/devices#device-blueline

Crdroid (which claims performance improvements, but also has a lot of customization options; reminds me of now deceased resurrection remix) is also good but doesn't seem to officially support your device. There may be some ports on XDA, tho.
