Well.. it is POSSIBLE to do all those things in Linux.  Apparently it is impossible to do it in crapple now.  I download a distro, like Mint or Parrot.  Follow the instructions and install it.  Then I just use it.  I never use the command line.  On the rare occasion that I must, I am just following copy-pasta instructions of some web forum.  Probably the easiest to use Linux is nigger-linux (Ubuntu).  If I have troubles or something breaks I just format it and reinstall the newest version.  Its easier than troubleshooting some shit I messed up.  I store everything on seperate HDDs.  I can prep to format in like 5 minutes then do it in about 15m then be set back up in another 5 mins. Essentially the worse problems imaginable can be solved in about 30-45 mins in Linux. if some bullshit issue like this crapple thing described here happens I just snag a new distro.   I have like half a dozen hdds and just shut off my machine, plug in another drive (because I dont know how to use the boot menu shit and always mess it up).  It is WAY easier than troubleshooting.  Pine phone and Purism are both not-yet-ready phone solutions. Something to keep an eye on but not buy just yet.  I think the purism phone is available though and could be worth a look.  I am trying to go the other way and just get the fuck away from these phones.  They are a jew chain.
