nice! i’d recommend keeping the battery a bit lower tho, and perhaps lower charging currency/voltage.
i believe it’s also possible to run proper linux on this phone btw

Which Linux distro would work on a phone? I have an old zenfone 8 lying around.

postmarketOS, mobian, etc… these are ‘real’ linux distros that work without the android parts. as your device doesn’t have a (near-)mainline kernel port i believe you can boot postmarketOS with the stock downstream kernel, though many peripherals won’t function.
halium based distros like ubports and droidian use a part of the android userspace to make those peripherals work, which can be better if mainline is not possible.
