You’d first have to buy a phone that can run postmarketos and these are much rarer than I wish they were. Is there even anything new that can run it? Pine64 stopped making phones and said they’ll make a new one when they can make it RISC-V.
Fairphone maybe I guess. 4 is listed as a supported device, but someone has gotten it working on 6 too.
Cause if ya wanna go overboard like I did, 1TB of NVME storage, can add with SD Card if necessary. 16GB RAM. Very little learning curve for my part as I use SBCs often. Plus almost every Docker container and program I want works on RPi without any hassle.
There’s also more robust guides and community for RPi.
at this point why not just use a phone running postmarketos?

there’s lots of devices it runs on iirc, something like the pixel 3a can be had for less than a new rpi3b+ where I live
But hardware ages and dies. Will you trust a pixel 3a for the next 10 years? I’d rather have a new device for this.
Last I checked (3 years ago) postmarketOS drained the pinephone battery in record time :(

Just my thoughts.
