There’s a few projects out there to get Linux onto phones & make it a reasonable user experience. It will probably always be a very niche segment. Postmarket OS looks promising too but I haven’t been able to try it as my old pixel isn’t supported. Depending on your galaxy model it might be supported.

Fairphone is another one to watch. They make phones & you can pick the OS when ordering

I’ve played around with Ubuntu touch from ubports foundation on an old pixel 3a. It works ok as a basic daily driver. Depending on the phone model there’s support for waydroid which helps with using android apps.

The biggest thing that put me off instantly was the prices tag. However it sound interesting with what they’ve done

Intel NUC i5 8XXXX running promox. I run home assistant, frigate & plex. Data storage is via the NAS DS 918+ but I do run some of their packages on that too & a couple more on the router / network.

Home assistant is particularly useful for running a bunch of add ons that I’d otherwise need to run as separate services in proxmox like adguard

I have a Synology DS 918+. I run just their apps for photos, surveillance station & as file sever. Separately I run promox on Intel NUC for services need more resources than the NAS has such as Plex (with transcoding), home assistant & another AI like NVR called frigate (with TPU). Overall it’s a good low power & stable setup but the fan on NUC can be annoyingly loud at times.
