it usually is pretty painless if you don’t buy a brand new device or a very popular one. but idiot me always gets a 2 month old extremely obscure device.
Any Pixel or Fairphone will work even if brand new usually. With Pixels you dont even need a bootloader unlock code, but they are honestly kinda trash devices in terms of repairabilty and features. Get yourself a Fairphone fellas, best decision i ever made (If you can live with a bit of thicc boi of a phone). Slap CalyxOS on dat thang and enjoy life.
Yeah but once you do that and unlock the bootloader, installing lineage was too easy. Last time I tried that (it was called cyanogenmod yet) I spent a hole weekend trying to recover my nexus 4
I was astonished that I installed lineage with microg on my xiaomi last year and without bricking it not even once.

Xiaomi is pretty complicated though isn’t it?. You need to register with xiaomi to get permission if i am not wrong?
