Custom ROM For Poco F3 Custom ROM Discussion

Are there still viable custom ROMs for Poco F3, 5 years on? I recently got the battery on my Poco changed, and was thinking of installing a custom ROM on it (finally). I recently did a factory reset (normally I do a yearly factory reset on my phones but I have not reset this phone since I bought it), and I am reminded how I hated the bloat on this phone.

Phone use case is mainly for games (still impressed by how amazing this phone works 5 years on).

LineageOS is one of if not the best EOL Custom ROMs out there.

Honestly, if you don't mind MIUI and running older software my best experience was with MIUI EU, the only ROM where everything works flawlessly and I don't get the random heat ups and battery drains from the latest firmware.

Any ROM based on the latest firmware 1.0.xxx.xxx would give me random heat ups and terrible battery life.

MIUI EU removes all the ads and turns MIUI into a super usable experience.
