That’s so cool, if I didn’t have a smart watch that could do these things, I’d definitely get one of these

No. As you can see on protondb.com, 86% of the Top 1000 Games on Steam have a Silver rating or better, meaning they work just fine on Linux.
Anything that doesn’t work on Linux
That doesn’t work with a VPN (unless you have root)
I just use NextDNS via the DNS-over-TLS (Private DNS) setting in Android
Doesn’t I2P encrypt the traffic already?
RCS is a pile of garbage for many reasons. On Android, it’s locked behind Google’s proprietary, privacy-invasive Messages app, and there is no API for third-party RCS clients (like with SMS). The encryption is also implemented in that proprietary client, offering no transparency and meaning that it’s probably backdoored. No one should ever trust encryption software if its source code isn’t public. People should use actual private messengers like Signal, with open source applications available for all platforms, as well as all of the features you mentioned. The only thing it obviously lacks is SMS fallback, but it’s really unnecessary, because Wi-Fi or cell data are literally available everywhere nowadays.
Just use Signal. It’s private and secure, available on every platform (including desktop), you can send photos, voice messages and all kinds of other files.

This might sound weird, but Apple. I was NEVER disappointed by any of the products I bought. Sure, they are fucking expensive. Sure, they sometimes release really dumb products that most people probably shouldn’t buy (e.g. the 2015 MacBook). But if you make all the right considerations before your purchase, I’m pretty sure you will have a product that won’t disappoint you. At least that’s been my experience so far. That doesn’t mean that I’m perfectly happy with everything, for example I’m trying to switch away from an iPhone (I will definitely keep using macOS laptops/desktops though) for privacy reasons. I wasn’t really disappointed here, when I bought this phone, I knew what I was getting myself into, but Google isn’t much better.
Proton for secure email/calendar/whatever they offer now. I’ve been a subscriber to their paid plan for years, really happy so far.
IVPN and Mullvad for a trustworthy, private VPN provider
Darknet Diaries is just amazing, it’s always really interesting, I never get bored
The Lockdown is a pretty good podcast about digital (and physical) privacy and security
The Privacy, Security, and OSINT Show by Michael Bazzell @ inteltechniques.com was really great, but they took it down last year. Fortunately there is still a torrent of the full archive of the show floating around: https://lemmings.world/post/11120738
The Ask Noah Show is all about Linux and open source software
Basically everything produced by Jupiter Broadcasting is just awesome, including Linux Unplugged and Self-Hosted
Linux Matters can also sometimes have really good content (Here’s their Mastodon profile: https://ubuntu.social/@linuxmatters)
Brodie Robertson’s Tech over Tea (I’m sorry I don’t have a better way to link to it than Apple Podcasts)
The Linux Experiment’s weekly Linux & open source news podcast (which you can also follow from the Fediverse btw, Castopod is just an awesome piece of software)
Oh man, I just looked up the Xperia Z4 and noticed that it’s like 10 years old. Can’t say that I’m surprised that there are basically no ROMs.
I don’t recommend installing random builds from forums like XDA. GrapheneOS definitely doesn’t have an official version for anything other than Pixels, you might want to try LineageOS if you want to throw the tablet out anyway
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.
Don’t let this misleading Wired article fearmonger you. I recommend this thread, which provides some nuance to this drama: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967805820394815
GrapheneOS doesn’t include this, along with many other unnecessary carrier apps
It’s only compatible with modern Pixel devices, so unless you’re old tablet is a Google Pixel Tablet, you can’t install it anyway. But the installer is super easy to use (if you have a compatible device). It’s literally all in your web browser.
It seems like you’re using the standard macOS Terminal. It has all kinds of issues with many terminal applications. I recommend switching to iTerm2. You can install it with a simple brew install --cask iterm2
The GrapheneOS guys also explained why this isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds, and how Wired is simply fearmongering: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034
I wonder how many of them will actually continue using it after a few weeks/months
