Amnezia is interesting. It is definitely better than just self-hosting a vanilla WireGuard/OpenVPN, because of the obfustation options they provide (XRAY Reality, Cloak etc.) Although, personally I would prefer to simply setup any of the protocols myself than rely on Amnezia or Outline or whatever else. For non-tech savy users this might be a great option though.
No statements about what they log
It’s on their main page bruh:
If you use the AmneziaVPN app for a self-hosted VPN, we do not collect any data about you or your server.
If you connect to our services, such as Amnezia Free and Amnezia Premium, we collect only the data necessary for the VPN to function.
Bazzite is a Fedora Atomic-based gaming distro. You cannot rollback your drivers separately, but you can rollback your whole system image, as it is an immutable distro.
Because Brave is literally a spyware.
You can check out which devices can be connected to Gadgetbridge without a vendor-key. Most notable examples are Bangle.js, PineTime and Huawei/Honor wearables.
Sorry, should’ve provided the whole post:

🔎 Search on Telegram is more powerful than in other messaging apps because it allows users to find public channels and bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been abused by people who violated our Terms of Service to sell illegal goods.
💪 Over the last few weeks, a dedicated team of moderators, leveraging AI, has made Telegram Search much safer. All the problematic content we identified in Search is no longer accessible. If you still manage to find something unsafe or illegal in Telegram Search, please report it to us via @SearchReport.
🚫 To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram Search, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, ensuring they are consistent across the world. We’ve made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.
☝️ These measures should discourage criminals. Telegram Search is meant for finding friends and discovering news, not for promoting illegal goods. We won’t let bad actors jeopardize the integrity of our platform for almost a billion users.
You should leave a direct link. Invidious is not the only YouTube frontend people are using.
more privacy focused browser
Librewolf is the best, Mullvad Browser is cool, if you use their VPN, ungoogled-chromium is good, if you need a chromium based browser. Despite its popularity among privacy-enthusiasts Brave is virtually a spyware.
First of all, lack of third party repos support locks you down behind only one source of applications. And second of all, because optionally free is not enough.
It depends. If we only mention security, then there’s (probably) nothing to worry about. However, if you look at it from the perspective of the FLOSS movement, Accrescent does not support any third-party repos, claiming that they are “breaking the Android security model”, and also allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo.
Among modern devices, only Google Pixels support re-locking on custom ROMs, IIRC.
EDIT: Looks like, modern OnePlus devices can be re-locked too.
EDIT 1: Same goes for SHIFT6mq.
GrapheneOS
Google Pixels are the only options with this one.
No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
Have you tried Spotube? It is a no ads YouTube Music client, that fetches your library from Spotify.
I can’t recommend you a specific device, but can suggest a Bootloader Unlock: Wall of Shame, which can help you to choose a device, as you are planning to install a custom ROM, like Lineage. Best of luck with your device search!
