Yes, you can find it in the themes directory. It also has really good documentation on github in case you want to make custom collections or swap out game system cover art. I went down the qml rabbit hole because of pegasus, it was super fun

The problem lies more with the phone itself no longer being supported, as both Calyx and Graphene only do harm-reduction updates after end of life, not full security updates. You will be taking a risk using either, but both are better than stock android.
For some reason you'll find a lot of Calyx/non-graphene os hate on lemmy (just look at the dowvotes on anything calyx related, even on this post). But if your threat model is just combatting coprorate data harvesting, de-googling, or further securing your phone, it works well and does as promised.
You should also look into Fairphones with Calyx. They're a bit pricey, but they get hardware support for 10 years instead of 5 (most android phones) and they are built with replacable parts in mind to prevent e-waste and unnecessary cost.
So in other words, yes you will have to buy a phone every 5 years (or 10 with fairphone) in order to have comprehensive security, even with graphene or calyx.
No problem! I think it depends on the theme. I use the Retro Mega Next theme which is optimized for handhelds, but it works great with mouse and keyboard.
Very nice! I will look into using it
Yeah, but I see it as a pro and a con. With previous browsers I used like Mull, Fennec and Bromite, the store versions usually lagged behind, usually due to FDroid shenanigans, and downloading it from the source eliminates the middleman. While it is more work, I do use my browser for many important things, so I feel like it's worth it for my use case.
I use Pegasus at the moment as it's extremely customizable, although it does have a bit of a learning curve since you do most things through media.txt files. You can configure launch commands, box art/media/videos through an external scraper (I use Skyscraper), and you can point to bash files which opens up use of the terminal for basically anything you want to do OS side. It also has many different themes, basic metadata, and sorts games by system.
Emulation station is also another popular choice and is more out-of the-box minded bit still requires a bit of know how.
I also really like Playnite because it's video game sorting heaven, but sadly it's windows only and is really janky in wine/lutris. I eagerly await the day a working linux port arrives.
I second this, I greatly prefer news from real people with their own style, especially when there's so much ai stuff and corporate boringness elsewhere. I'd love to see a part 5, good job!
Edit: Part 5!
Welcome! 196 (you are here) and Privacy are the main reasons I come to lemmy. Some hidden gems I enjoy are Creepy Wikipedia and Desire Paths
Littetally. I found it fishy that Brave suspiciously scored so well. Half of those browsers are just modified Chromium anyway including Brave, and Brave has made some suspicious marketing decisions which is why I dont really trust them. If you're curious look into their history involving crypto and advertising.
The only good ones I'd recomend are Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, and Tor. They're really the only ones that even try to combat fingerprinting.
I still don't see Mozilla as a bad actor, especially in comparison with the villany that is google and microsoft. It's still a great alternative for privacy newbies and average users, although I personally made the switch to librewolf (desktop) and iceraven (mobile) a while ago. Both being forks of firefox, development for actual firefox is essential for either of these to survive, so Mozilla still has my support albeit indirectly
No thanks, I'll just keep playing Morrowind on my 2009 Toshiba
