Right now I have a Nokia 8 and it cannot be rooted because the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Which sucks a lot.
Are there any manufacturers that make Android phones that are easy to root and have good support for LineageOS or something similar?

I’m not sure about specific brands or models, but you can go through the list of devices that are officially supported by LineageOS. xda-developers forums also have a lot of info for each device.
Problem is some less common devices might have some bugs and it’s not easy to find information on this. I have an Essential PH1 and with LineageOS the speakerphone didn’t work which was a no go for me. So I am wondering if there are some devices that LineageOS supports better in general. There is also the factor that I would like the phone to be receiving updates for as long as possible.
More popular devices are probably better supported in general. And if you read through some threads on xda, they should mention which issues exist.
