I believe you can install LineageOS on any old Pixel and still get updates. Though the type of updates will be limited. https://www.lineageos.org/

YMMV may vary a lot with LineageOS, unfortunately.

I was a big fan, but:

- Nexus 5X support was terminated

- Pixel 1 support is broken; the device used to reset daily (works fine with the original OS)

- They have at least one serious open issue (GPS not functioning, although it can be worked around)

In the end, I had to buy a new phone, that is officially supported. I still donate, but I don't hold my hopes high anymore, anytime that a device gets out of official support.
