I have a computer where xserver not work if you try to use it together with the internal graphiccard. With Wayland even a Screen on this internal card works.
So I propose to try Wayland.

I installed a linux onto an USB stick
installed Hw-probe. Created a little script that saved the result to disk. and opened the browser to the result page.
And went to a Store:
- Insert USB Stick
- Press SHIFT on a Windows PC
- Than do a Power off on Windows
- chose reboot to stick
- connect smart-phone with thetering
- run HW-Probe script
I was allowed to do that on every store i visited. Mostly I asked if the local staff would like see a running linux.
That way I choosed my current laptop

For Android I recommend Rethink
It has Wireguard, DNS and Firewall (per app and per IP/Domain)

Such question I like to answer with this link from a security specislist.

Please check the category Android.
Graphene seems the best possible custom rom.
I use Lineageos because I got an old phone for free.

I have an old Windows 2000 game that I plan to install on Wine and a 12 year old NVidia Graphic card. Half a year ago I strugle to get it run on #Lutris. I randomly activated and deactivated checkboxes, because nower was Manual with a proper description of the settings. I gave it up a some point. At least I resceived te Start screen without crash.
Are there any manuals how to choose settings for a game?

I use gnome-disks.
Then according to this german article:
gnulinux.ch/raw-images-verklei…
I reduce the images Partition to the smallest possible.
edit it's content with kpartx and remove cache, tmp and trashbin
and reduce the disk and image size with pishrink.

Hw-probe is a nice project. To buy my laptop I created an usb bootable linux that auto connectet my mobile hotspot and uploaded the report.
I went to som shops and usbbooted their devices.
Most shops had no problem with that.
So I found a working convertable laptop. 👍
What's sad ont this linux-hardware.org website is the poor desin of this homepage.
It is really not usable, except for your own device. But also there its difficult to analyse for certain hardware details.

I used PlayOnLinux for years.
Recently I migrated to Lutris. I have a Wine installation which are 15 Years old and Works fine on Lutris.
Thanks to Lutris and its modern Settings I could use modern technology for my 32bit games.
