If you like gaming and aren’t fussed about the other stuff, Bazzite and CatchyOS are gaming tailored distros that are probably worth a look.

Can you buy a sim card from a tourist leaving the country and ask them for access to add funds to the account? Then have a “reddit only” phone?

I use ghost commander on my phone to access my NAS on my home network.

Thanks mate, this is a to do list of what I’m planning.

What do you prefer about Catchy over Bazzite. I’m currently using Bazzite but not in love with it. I mean it’s just an OS that works for my gaming and browsing.
