I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

From the looks of it GrapheneOS still seems like the best choice by far…
if you got pixel and don’t like GOS team, Calyx OS is a decent alternative also, you can lock bootloader and get most apps to work with microg
GOS team are some elitist jerks, sure, but what they make works well. And I respect the fuck out of Calyx for being committed to making something like MicroG work.
GOS or Calyx, either is gonna be miles better than /e/. /e/ is running their ‘native IP scrambler’ on a two-year old commit of TOR. Fuck everything about that.
Basically, but not everyone has a pixel or can afford to buy a new device.
$150 for a refurb Unlocked Pixel 6 from eBay. That’s both cheaper, more ecologically friendly, and better for your privacy than /e/ can ever hope for.
I recently picked up a pixel 7a on ebay. $200 for like new condition. Probably the current sweet spot for value and remaining years of support.
