My oneplus 6 is running postnarmetos fine, the hardware is still good but depending on where you get it you might need to replace the battery. My battery worked but only held about half of the charge it should. They are also oled screened so expect a little burn in from all the years of use, especially the status bar if the old user ran light mode.
I was actually thinking about this, oneplus 6/6T seems to be well supported by ubuntu touch, mobian and postmarket os, and it can be pretty cheap compared to new linux first devices!
But the non-replaceable battery is a pain in the ass, didn’t know about the oled thing, will keep in mind…

the battery replacement is non trivial. the glass back is incredibly fragile and is glued on.
that said, they can be got new-in-box from ebay.
I believe ubports are the only ones who have volte working besides jolla.
