“Proper” mobile Linux has never been a serious thing except maybe during the Nokia N900 era (It was released in 2009.). So I don’t really get what you’re trying to say with that statement.

I’m talking about developments such as postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch/UBports, Phosh (mobile GNOME), Plasma Mobile, etc.

I see so many people here on Lemmy who are desperately waiting for Linux phones to replace their iPhones or Android phones, without realizing that idea is absolutely utopian and unrealistic.

An image-based system would be the bare minimum to achieve basic security, but there would still be so many security issues compared to Android and iOS, that I don’t think Linux phones are worth putting time and development effort into.

AOSP is a fantastic base for open source mobile systems. The FOSS mobile development community should rather shift its focus to AOSP, develop a good understanding of it and get familiar with the code, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with mobile Linux distros.

your (very expensive) license is tied to a USB stick

Not true. You can link it to your Unraid.net account using Unraid Connect: https://docs.unraid.net/account/link-key/

Sure, it’s not perfect, but still the best option for beginners.

Unraid is great for beginners.

HomeBox is perfect for your use case. You could also try InvenTree, but I think HomeBox is going to better suit your needs.

The GrapheneOS team is working on finding a suitable OEM that would be able to release flagship hardware with security comparable to a Pixel, and GrapheneOS preinstalled.

And they’re even working on releasing phones that come with GrapheneOS preinstalled

Any FOSS Linux/Unix shell, bash, zsh, fish, tcsh, whatever, is a million times better than cmd or the early versions of PowerShell. Yeah, I know, PowerShell Core exists now, and it’s even open source and cross platform, but it still sucks.

Oh wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

Pika Backup is pretty nice as well

The Swiftfin app is awesome

The Spitz AX has a more powerful MediaTek dual core CPU running @ 1.3GHz. It also supports 5G, and has 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. As far as I can see, the Puli uses the same CPU, but it also includes a battery.

I recommend getting a dedicated cellular router like the GL.iNet Mudi (but you’re gonna need a USB Hub if you want to use Ethernet), Spitz (4G) or Puli (5G). The latter two have integrated Ethernet ports. Both are also available with built-in batteries.

20 years ago desktop Linux wasn’t nearly as good as it is nowadays. They were also influenced by Micro$oft lobbyists, who threatened to move their headquarters out of Munich, causing millions of lost tax revenue for the city.

Roundcube and SOGo (which is used by Mailcow, but hass fewer features than Roundcube) are the only somewhat modern looking options. All the other stuff looks like straight out of the 90s/early 2000s. Nextcloud Mail is pretty good as well.
