Perhaps you could try experimenting with your older phone before buying something and risking naking some mistake. I believe this rom is compatible with it:

Although a bit dated, doing that can help you get more experience with the process of u lockingthe bootloader, flashing a custom rom, etc.
Note: I was going to edit a typo in the previous comment, and accidentally delet it, sorry.
Oh thanks 🙏 I guess I’m gonna try this first.
