I was looking for a custom ROM for my current phone, and I came across this. Personally, I think that this is a very misleading comment, and has quite a bit of factual inaccuracies.

The device is a Redmi 9A. The mobile processor I’m using is a Mediatek Helio G25, with 2GB of RAM. Apparently, it is a “gaming” processor released in 2020. And I don’t do a lot of heavy stuff, just listen to pre-downloaded music and browse the internet using Firefox Android.
Someone was working on porting pmOS to it just a few months ago, so maybe one day that will be an option but it isn’t currently. I’d keep an eye on that repo and the pmOS devices page and hopefully it will run pmOS eventually.
Meanwhile I see Lineage also doesn’t have official support for the Redmi 9A yet (though they do for the Redmi 9) but it sounds like there are unofficial builds which supposedly work on it.
Personally I wouldn’t run an operating system built and distributed by some random forum user, but if you’re feeling adventurous you could try. This page purports to have instructions for installing Lineage on it, as well as several other Android builds, and it ultimately instructs you to download the image from this lengthy forum thread in Russian about the Redmi 9A which also has lots of other images supposedly built for that device. Good luck 😀
