  • I use DNS66 downloaded from F-Droid. It registers itself as a VPN, but it’s actually a DNS filter, not a VPN. It works to filter ads on most apps, and you can individually disable it for specific apps if needed.

    I also use the Firefox app, which supports a few add-ons (much less than the desktop version), including uBlock and some similar options

    I’d recommend one or both. They’re working great for me on a non-rooted Pixel 4a 5G

    I have the Galaxy Watch 4 and I like it. Here’s a screenshot of the heart rate settings. On my current setting, it monitors continuously while exercising (including a long walk) and every 10mins while still.

    It can also monitor blood oxygen continuously, but only during sleep (presumably to check for sleep apnea). While awake, you can take a manual blood oxygen measurement

  • I think most distros will work just fine. It’s gotten so so much easier since Valve invested in Proton to make the Steam Deck work.

    Personally, I’m on EndeavourOS with Gnome and it works fine for all my Steam games on an AMD GPU. Years ago, I was on Linux Mint, and that worked just fine for gaming too.

    One caveat: if you have an Nvidia GPU, driver support can sometimes be a headache (or at least it was several years ago when I had one). Some distros claim better out of the box support for Nvidia, like Pop OS
