I’m likely going to use ladb to sideload “directly” on the device. I’m really hoping there are some legal challenges and/or bad pr to make them back down. I’m also considering picking up a Fairphone 4 or 5 and running CalyxOS as a plan B.

I personally use the Comet and have had a great luck with it.
I don’t have a specific model, but in general I’ve had success with Epson Tank printers and Linux. It opens up the ability to use third party ink easily. I’ll use the Epson Connect feature for scanning (to email in my instance, but there’s other options) without needing to input a server address or install anything on the OS. The main caveat, like most ink printers, they work best if you print often. This is to cut down on dry out and manual print head cleaning. In my experience using them weekly is enough.
This has become my go to OS for less technical users. I’ve even had a couple go for the Pro version so they could get the pre configured macOS like desktop.
Some great responses here. One thing I’d add is while Mint is considered “beginner friendly”, it’s still a Linux based os. If you decide you want to get into more advanced topics in the future (programming, networking, etc.) you can absolutely do those things with Mint if it’s the distro your comfortable with. You wouldn’t be stuck with an os with limited functionality in that regard.
Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, it’s not available in my country. That’s a shame because it looks excellent. For future knowledge though, are there any costs associated with it?
This question is more related to the OS than the phone - What, if anything, do you use for Turn by Turn Navigation? How does it compare to Google Maps (ex. accuracy, traffic, alternate routes)?
That’s a shame on both counts. I’ll have to follow more closely for a Plan C.
