GrapheneOS is the most secure mobile OS except things like Ubuntu Touch, or using throwaway phones etc which obviously don't support the apps you need to exist in society these days.

Cheers, currently grabbed Ubuntu, Fedora, GParted, and Kali.

Original Zip link is dead but someone in the comments recreated it. No idea if they're any good, hopefully I'll never look at them

Why not both? I'm not lacking in storage on either the USB or the phone.

Sure, for devices that already are logged in then yes. But to log into my Proton Drive I have to enter my password and authenticate with my Yubikey and it might not be a trusted computer, or the internet connection might be slow. And my self hosted services including my Seafile are behind a VPN so I'd have to log into my VPN on that PC to access them. I definitely transfer files by USB on occasion.

I guess I can put a VPN config file on my USB in the encrypted folder so I can connect to it from any trusted PC

My phone that has no connection, or any USB A / C device that's around? Not saying its likely

I'll encrypt anything vaguely private. Honestly its a useful way of me not losing it around the house too, I must have 3 or 4 USB sticks in the house but when I need to install an ISO I can never find any

Well I carry it anyway for impromptu file transfers. I've just added 1gig of survival PDFs. Probably never need them but who knows

True, but that's why F-Droid exists

That's an unconventional way of sharing source. How do we know the built apk is built from that source?

I don't store any data on my home machines. Anything important is on my NAS which then gets backed up to Backblaze, and to a NAS as my parents house.

I can wipe my laptop and have apps set up again in an hour, and my desktop mainly stores games I can just redownload from Steam.

As far as I know it can't be done.

Look at the watches on here: https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/

I have Amazfit Balance and it works very well, all the data is locally synced to my phone, none of it goes to Google or China.
