I'm looking to get a different OS on my phone (currently it's default Samsung Android), but I can't find any that officially support my model. Where can I find a list of OS that support my phone?

My phone is a Samsung galaxy a32 5g if that helps

So, CalyxOS is currently attempting an AOSP 16 update but the AOSP 17 update is releasing and it is already out of date, so NOT THAT.

GrapheneOS is more up to date but only supports Pixel phones AFAIK.

Linux is going to be your best bet. PostmarketOS supports 735 devices but alas it might(?) not support the a35 as only the a3, a30, a32, and a40 are listed from what I saw.

    When you say that PostmarketOS supports 735 devices, does that mean it can be installed, or that basic functionality like making a phone call works?

    735 is definitely just the number of devices that can boot postmarketos. The list of mature, well-supported devices (with enough working features to be considered as such) is much smaller, though still pretty great. Making phone calls seems to be especially spotty, unfortunately.

    The full list, with matrices showing working features on each device, is here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
