Sure, if at this point you're still comfortable trusting the same entity with all your cloud services as well as your phone OS (which seems to just be a hardened LineageOS) — go right ahead.
Totally fair point there.
I do want to move to a more secure OS for my mobile device, and I'm just in the babysteps of understanding the wide world of the Linux ecosystem.
If that's where you're at, go for it. Every decision in this game is a tradeoff between convenience and privacy. We all need to start somewhere!
I'm old enough that I used to casually flash Android KitKat ROMs, and self hosted Nextcloud for a decade or so. I've seen platforms rise and fall 🤣 After a while it's easy to become jaded.
Yeah, long term I do want to self host and I've now been doing reading on next cloud.
I used to flash to cyanogenos on a galaxy2 back in the day and I'm looking at different ROMs to try out now (suggestions welcome).
That being said, I'm new to Linux and haven't done much home server stuff, but am motivated to learn more.
