the "whatever ROM"s are all Android, what difference does it make? Many bank apps have this SafetyNet thing and will refuse to run on non-official ROMs, that too.

- nsonha 1mo agoThe linux distros support very few devices officially. Even including community maintained ports, it's always old devices that you would not buy if you wanna maximize specs to run as a server. That is one of the reasons you want linux in the first place. I have several old Android phones, the newest one is s10e from 2019, decent specs but only supports an abandoned version of UBports, not the current one, and no port for postmarketOS.
- Gander5739 1mo agoWhy would you buy a phone to run as a server anyway? If you really want linux you can root the phone and chroot.
- nsonha 1mo agoI don't need to root the phone to run linux, and even rooting it doesn't change the fact that you're running linux on top of android.
