Absolutely

I'm actually considering getting a 9 Pro, because I like the design. The past few generations of Pixels have been (in my opinion) ugly as hell. The Pixel 9 Series actually looks great though. I'll probably give the 6 Pro that I currently use to my mom (with GrapheneOS of course), because she needs a new phone anyway.

KDE's Kate is pretty awesome

You don't control any VPN services hosted on someone else's (e.g. a cloud provider's) infrastructure. They have full access and can technically do anything. And they see your incoming and outgoing connections. This is stupid, and doesn't give you any privacy benefit. There are good and trustworthy VPN providers like Mullvad, IVPN and Proton. Just acknowledge that.

macOS doesn't support some basic ways of rendering text and colors. I see iTerm as strictly necessary if you are serious about using the Terminal on a Mac.

GrapheneOS doesn't include this, along with many other unnecessary carrier apps

I think the Pixel Fold might be the best option for a foldable phone, because (just like all other Pixels) you can flash it with a private, secure, open-source ROM like GrapheneOS.

Note the difference between Fedora and Fedora Silverblue. Fedora is a regular Linux distro, like Ubuntu. Silverblue is an immutable distro which uses rpm-ostree and provides atomic updates. Universal Blue is based on Fedora Silverblue whereas Nobara is based on normal Fedora. Bazzite is a more gaming-focused variant of Universal Blue. I prefer Silverblue and Silverblue-based distros, because they are more stable and reliable. Bazzite perfects this experience and adds some more stuff on top, to making everything easier and more pleasant.

Calyx is pretty insecure by default, it removes some default AOSP security features and is very slow to push security patches. And it doesn't include any of the GrapheneOS security features like hardened SELinux, a hardened kernel, secure app spawning, hardened Chromium browser and WebView or hardware-based integrity attestation. It also uses a very flawed Google Play services implementation (microG) which requires root and has worse app compatibility.

I haven't tried OxygenOS, but I used Oppo's ColorOS (which is basically the same thing; there are only a few minor differences, since OnePlus is a subsidiary of Oppo) and it was terrible. The entire OS felt like a buggy mess, and the battery life was terrible because of all the garbage running in the background. I spent an entire weekend removing all the bloatware, but the experience still sucked. That was 2 years ago, after my iPhone XS broke, and I just needed a new phone quickly. My carrier had a deal at the time, where I got the Oppo phone almost for free (very small direct payment, no monthly payments), so I took it. After about a month, I just couldn't stand it anymore and returned the phone. Then I bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro, flashed GrapheneOS on it, and it's been great ever since. I'm never using a Chinese phone again. A friend showed me his Xiaomi phone and said that it's basically unusable with the stock ROM. Phone manufacturers should really stop messing with the goddamn OS, they always manage to turn it into a giant pile of shit. I'll definitely stick with (preferably degoogled) operating systems that are as close to AOSP as possible, like GrapheneOS.

Unraid would be my first suggestion as well. But if you prefer something FOSS, check out TrueNAS Scale. (It is important that you go with TrueNAS Scale, not Core. TrueNAS Core is the continuation of the former FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD. Since it's not a Linux system, it doesn't support Docker. TrueNAS Scale is based on Debian Linux and much closer to Unraid, it has full support for KVM Virtualization and Docker containers.)

Unfortunately Stardew Valley. But now I don't have much time and I lost my save file, so I would have to start all over again.
