>Quite a few mobile OS's are getting developed but I highly doubt any of them would work with the hardware I have. The best chance the LineageOS promises, but after looking over the list of supported devices I see little hope. I don't get it, if one mobile OS works and it based on AOSP and the other is also based on that, why the next OS have problems working on the same device?
firmware. The device manufacturer has made a series of proprietary firmware to make the chips in the phone run. So, even if you have the exact same os that runs on a different phone with the same architecture cpu, the firmware is different so the phone won't run. The problem you often have with developing for these devices is they often lack a separate chip for booting, like with bios. As such, if the OS breaks in some way and doesn't boot the device becomes useless, so providing "guaranteed" support for these devices requires several of them to test so you know you don't accidentally brick a users phone.
Less likely, drivers. They tend to stick to stuff supported by Linux because it saves them money but that's an extra hoop to jump through if they got some driver written than needs to get copied also because it needs an exact Linux version match.
>I read a little and it turned out that an Android consists of two parts, the Android Open Source Project, and the Android bloatware with Chrome and Google Play and all the other proprietary shit. So with my little knowledge I would assume it should be possible to delet the shit layered over the AOSP and install other stuff to replace them.
So basically, it's entirely possible to use the "debugging" developer mode on the phone to gain root access and just delete whatever packages you want. However, much of the phone OS can be built expecting those packages to be there, so just stripping them out can leave you with a fucked up phone. As such, people strip the googleware at the source and compile their own packages, which is what Cyanogenmod did and now Lineage OS is doing. Other rom providers would simply make a backup of a fresh phone, add some packages, maybe strip a little and then off the altered rom.

Unless you can find correct support for your specific phone model, I'd check xda, I wouldn't risk it.
