Since we don’t yet have a specific community for custom phone ROMs, let’s discuss them here. Are you running a custom ROM? Which one? On what hardware? How is it?

None … yet. Hadn’t even looked into the possibility since my Pixel 2XL, and I have no idea what I dug up all those years ago.
I’m now on a Pixel 6 Pro and would love to move to a privacy-focused OS; I’m already on KDE Neon on desktop for both my production machines as of May. Rexxit has motivated me to at least dip my toes in on mobile, but as with desktop Linux, I fully expect my first attempt to bring into specific relief what I’m looking for and then go try things until I find what I like.
Graphene and Lineage seem like the best starting options at this point, but I’d love to hear from anyone else on my hardware on their experiences. My use cases are vanishingly small: Signal for text, voice and video; the local transit app; music app (still haven’t found one that makes be forswear any further experimentation) for my commute; mindless games (currently Royal Match) for my commute; 10-15 texts a week; and a phone call or two. I barely even use the camera except for work, and yes, I’m aware I purchased a phone utterly overpowered for my needs, but I’m picky about pixel size.
What recommendations do y’all have, either as a starting point or — perish the thought — an obvious daily driver?
I have a Pixel 6a, not 6 Pro, but I am running GrapheneOS. I had it on my Pixel 4a before this phone. I like it a lot!
From all the responses, GrapheneOS seems the most popular. Worth a weekend gander.
But I’m really responding to say I love your user name.
