Look I'm not going argue this to death.
I'm sure you made the right decision for your requirements.

Out of curiosity, could this be down to the SoC?

It is bad choises all around.
Using a second hand phone reduces the climate impact a bit but you're increasing the value of the device which is from an U.S. company. Especially one that has currently increasingly stupid ideas how Android should evolve.
In the end everybody has to pick their poison.

I finally managed to build a image for my #Raspberrypi using #disko.
The Pi boots with UEFI and has a LUKS paritition containing BTRFS.
There is still a lot to do but I'm getting really close to a usable state.
I still find it very satisfying to build these kind of things with #NixOS

When I was younger I was gaming a lot on PC but I don't have that much time anymore and when I want to play a game the Switch was really nice to just pick up and get going.
However besides Zelda I'm not that much into their usual games and I'm really happy that there are some good "serious" games on this platform.
The selection is more than enough for the amount of time I can dedicate.
For a while I experimented with cloud gaming but Shadow PC was the only thing that really worked and they got really expensive.
In addition my girlfriend had really shitty internet so cloud gaming was out of the Window anyway.
I know there is the #Steamdeck but sometimes it's good to have a device I can't fuck around with.

Today I took some time to see if I could improve a script by converting it to Python from Bash .
While It was more verbose than the Bash script I felt I had a much better grasp at what was going on.
In the end I then scrapped the whole thing because I found that I could just use `fd` directly with.
Investigating your tool is often worth it :)
