Privacy Respecting OS on BlackBerry Key2 (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I’m interested in a phone with a physical keyboard. There is a mod for the FairPhone I spotted, but that’s not fully supported in the US yet. So I’m looking at buying the inspiration for the mod the BlackBerry Key2. I’ve heard it can be hard to get other firmwares on it. I’m particularly eyeing CalyxOS. Has anyone had any luck with this.

I've been using a Unihertz Titan Pocket. I've been too lazy to flush the ROM to LineageOS. I actually will buy a second one as a backup for the future until I can figure out something else.

This is almost exactly what I’m after. Will probably pick one of these up and experiment with flashing it. The big assumption I feel like is that the keyboard just registers as a normal HID/USB device and will work with any os. Fingerprint and stuff could be fiddly, but we’ll see.
