I am looking for a solution to receive WhatsApp messages on my phone. I don’t want to install the WhatsApp app on my personal phone, but it is on my work phone and its mandatory for my job. I held out for a long time but it is necessary that I answer messages on there.
Beeper.com is enticing but it appears to have a lot of trackers for an app that claims it respects privacy.
What do you guys think?

I’m not sure what an SBC refers to, but the matrix server is pretty heavy unfortunately.
oh okay, ya I meant single board computers like a raspberry pi
Single board computer (such as Raspberry Pi). As someone who used to host a matrix server I would agree it is fairly heavy and I was the only user of it. There are guides out there for setting it up on a Pi (example) so I suppose it is doable.
