I am old fashioned that way. If I can get Ventoy to work and have it boot from a micro SD card I may end up with a 2 Tb card that allows me to try out and swap out with quite a few operating systems. Since a 1 Tbg sandisk extreme is $160 I will probably stick with my 256 gig for now.
In case you want to test the idea before I get my phone, here is the link for Ventoy, hopefully I am not getting in trouble by putting it up on this forum.

After I am stable and I can use it as a phone, I will start playing with code. Till then I will be a pure script-kiddo and just use what others advise me to try and perhaps bash a few changes and hope for the best on driver updates and settings.

While I do have extra test phones to try things on,  If a test phone crashes,  ---> hopefully I learn something, but not a big deal.

But my daily use Pine phone is not allowed to crash..
