Agreed. The only advice people gave me with issues on Windows as “just use Linux!” OK, I switched…here’s my hundreds of issues, suddenly no help from them. ChatGPT made it possible for me to build a server and switch to Fedora. Not how I wanted to switch, but it worked

That’s a great point, well put

Oh, I see. I was misunderstanding what you were getting at. I’ve never been someone who’s glued to their phone, so its mostly a reluctant device I keep for emergency and remote access to my server. Considering most of my phone time is spent VPN-free web browsing or using selfhosted services, I think I don’t need to be overly concerned with security like that, right? Every phone I’ve ever bought has been several years old anyway

My plan was to put Lineage on it, would that change your mind?

My current phone is about to kick the bucket, so I’m kinda in the same boat. I was stuck between the two options you’re considering, but I recently decided that my next phone’s probably gonna be a Fairphone because I have yet to hear any negative reviews about them

Seems that way

I’d say its boring due to its predictable downward trajectory
