LineageOS on the Nexus 5

The alternative: e/OS 1) seems also to be privacy friendly
e/OS on Wikipedia

The Nexus 5 2) is an Android smartphone build by LG for Google
Warning: This phone has reliability issues. The soldering of chips with a BGA can go bad. When this happens the phone becomes non functional
If this happens you can

  • Remove the battery and connect the charger. If nothing happens, on the display, the cause is probably a BGA issue
  • Put the phone in the refrigirator (not the freezer) an see if it starts working. If so the cause is a BGA issue. You might be able to save your data
  • Resolder the BGA
    • Remove the main board
    • Remove the wireless module of the main board
    • Use a heat gun to first preheat the whole board and then resolder the BGA chips. This is a tricky action
    • Let the board cool down
    • Reassemble the phone and check if it works again
      • If so, save your data. Chances are the phone will only work for a short period
    • Do not use the phone for serious matters any more
