Works like a charme across major platforms and formats.Last time I checked versions for Android and Linux were unpaid.
I have an Asus Eee PC from 2009 running Puppy Linux (as a secondary device).
As already pointed out you will need a leightweight distro and desktop environment.https://distrochooser.de/ (available in English) can help you find the right distro, it takes into account the age of your device, your Linux knowledge, use case and a lot more.

I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.
My story is quite similiar, though I was working in theoretical ecology. Turned out that I could handle the computers we were working with and their linux distros better than anything else. I went on for another 2.5 years and then quit. I aquired he LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certificates from the Linux Professional Institute, worked as a pure Linux sysadmin for half a year and am now working as a sysadmin for Windows in Linux in my 5.th year.
Where I live you need at least some kind of certificate (or some on the job experience) and the will and ability to learn. In my experience most companies that are working with Windows will be quite happy to hire someone who doesn’t shy away from the terminal and/or cmd.

And consequently equally hard to get anything else but a Marvel movie to watch. Art monetarized to this existent just isn’t art anymore.
Don’t misunderstand me, I like some good entertainment now and then, but I prefer movies that make you think and can even change you for the better.

Second Lawnchair. AFAIK it’s the only FOSS launcher that supports Graphene OS’ Private Space.

Missing on my list - thx!
I’m donating on a monthly basis: To four NGOs and to the devs of the OS and apps I’m using regularly.






The original overview dates back to 2023 but is updated, e.g. to mention EoL of DivestOS. Security updates are observed over a longer period of time. Its criticism is that though updates are provided monthly their release in comparision to the release of the patches is delayed by some days and sometimes incomplete. Can be compared here: https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/asb-overview and here: https://calyxos.org/news/ The original overview in German can be found here: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-grapheneos-calyxos-und-co-unter-der-lupe-custom-roms-teil1/
