I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop (www.pcgamer.com)

I'm going to attempt to kindly countermand this, there is a web installer for chrome based browsers that I believe anyone intelligent enough to navigate the fediverse can step through easily enough.
The base install with play services enabled is a stock android experience all things considered; the extra features and additional security are there for those that want to engage with it.

That is my push to get you going. =)

I've done this with an old Pixel (partly to wipe the phone, and partly as a hope that if it's refurbished/resold, the new owner will have Graphene). If you can read and follow a recipe, it's virtually stupid-proof. I don't remember having to know anything for which the directions didn't specify or offer explicit directions.

That is a kind gesture to the new owner, good on you!
