Don’t get a pine phone.
It might sound weird, but,
if you can sell your phone, and buy the one you want second hand,
you might be able to land a compatible device without any financial lose.
On a side note, if you have a Chromebook or other laptops/desktops, you can reformat the BIOS to give you better control, more security, and less backdoors.
Phones are usually easier to find compatibility than tablets. If you check the websites for those operating systems, you will see what devices are compatible.

Concerning apps, you will be able to run 99% for your apps. There are odd rare cases where some may not work. For those, you may find success by installing them through https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/ instead of the through the Google Play Store.
One is particular feature that doesn’t work is using the NFC wallet feature on phones, but you shouldn’t use those anyways because you’re giving an extra cut away to Google, Samsung, or Apple, on top of credit card fees from Mastercard, Visa, or the like.
Some banks apps don’t work on Graphene. All of mine never have any problems. It might be worth saving a click link on your phone your banks website instead if the app doesn’t work. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/ Or instead consider switching banks.

Also use CoMaps with RHVoice.
Even better, under community builds here it looks like PostmarketOS supports Galaxy 9
If you reformat your phone before September will one of my mentioned operating systems, f-Droid will continue working.
If you really need a new phone, but do try to avoid it, buy one second hand one. Or buy a new one of these https://scribe.disroot.org/post/8920564 including Fairphone as an option.
f-droid’s website https://f-droid.org/ has a link to https://keepandroidopen.org/ which says in Google will lock down Android in September,
If you were planning on reformatting your phone to GrapheneOS, LineageOS, PostmarketOS, or UbuntuTouch, now is the time to do it.

I’d love to use these are signals to know when I my home server services are down though. I might be one. I do have an Raspberry Pi 4B, but I’m not sure how I will connect LEDs to it with the case open. I might be better open opening up my RPI 4B.
Oh man, this thing is long. I just need to know what I can use to host a Valheim server with.
There is no way thing can run a Valheim server:
Wow, Invidious link too, good stuff!
Personally I’d love a big ass Raspberry Pi, but I might be bitting my tongue at that one.
Same! I heard Raspberry Pis kind of use Risc-V. But I don’t understand enough to know which of their devices do.
2·2 months agoNeat, I’ve never heard of these.
I was thinking of doing it once a day. Even if I have to manually initiate it to be legal. It would only be for personal non-public nor commercial reasons.
It would save me time from manually copying the HTML over to an LLM or something.
Haha, the game emulator is awesome, but I actual use the file manager so still good
I have heard better comments from new Linux users recently that they prefer Fedora over Linux Mint, if that helps.
