  MicroG?

  I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

  Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

  I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

  PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing

  I don’t have history on, I keep my “subscriptions” list curated to perfection so every morning I find interesting videos to watch/listen while I make coffee

  Oh wait, were you looking for alternatives? I guess this also works: filebrowser.org

  Its just web veiw to file server instead of only using things like smb or nfs

  Yeah setting it up the way you want is a pain, but I like it mainly for backing up photos from my phone automatically, as well as, syncing podcasts and music between devices since I moved away from Spotify and start using things like AntennaPod and Gramophone

  I got 20TB in my server, might as well use it.

  After you move to Linux, you end up continuing your journey to different Linux flavours

  Its less of a need for powerful hardware and more of a want.

  I started off my days with a laptop that had a broken screen. I took screen off and hid it behind my desk, worked perfectly fine, even came with a built in backup battery too xD

  My understanding of the different operating systems

  MacOS: One time hardware payment for their service (plus for every other device)

  Linux: Free as in price free and freedom

  Windows: 30+ subscriptions to edit 1 file, then cooldown till next day or upgrade subscriptions to enterpise version for a kidney/per user/per month.
