Sounds like a Librem 5. Am currently typing from one.

Just block the hexbear.net and lemmy.ml instance subs that show up in ALL, and it makes a much more pleasant experience
Default Gnome apps work well, but you’ll need to revert to an earlier version of Gnome Todo/Tasks before it became endeavour, as they had subtasks, but unfortunately removed it with the newer version.
I have a Note9 I just did a battery & screen replacement on, a Key2 that had not been used until a year ago (so still has great battery life), and a newish Librem5. Most other phones, e.g. those mid-range Samsung’s, or phones without headphone jacks feel like sidegrades rather than upgrades.
They’re all 4G though; both Android model variants are unrootable, and of course behind on their security updates. Next phone would need to be 5G, and ideally allow longer security updates, or allow Mobian + Waydroid install. Maybe one of the Asus ones. Honestly wish Fairphone had kept it or brings it back; they’re missing out on a big segment of customers that would be a good match.
To afford an out of carrier phone, just dipped down to a cheaper plan that still meets my needs.
I exclusively use phones with headphone jacks. Using GNU/Linux mobile more to get longer software security updates where needed/possible. All GNU/Linux native phones have headphone jacks.
I am using a Librem 5
I have all those things working well on a Librem 5
No, that would require specific web scraping modules for each individual bank, or where open banking exists, an API integration. Many banks you can export XML, CSV, or QIF, all which can be imported by MMEX. I just store my file on my NAS, and open it with the desktop.
The list of devices on Replicant OS is old and short. Proprietary blobs are a big issue for Android.
I use MoneyManagerEx after looking at alternativeto.net for Mint. It has an Android app in addition to desktop apps, and has an easy interface, compatible with multiple formats

King’s Quest original series was and still is great
OP probably doesn’t know you need to wait 1h in line just to board it out of Union evening rush hour. And that’s assuming it doesn’t get stuck in snow, traffic, crash, etc. Toronto needs subways, and better optimized roads, not more streetcars.
Open Street Map. If something isn’t accurate, you just update it like Wikipedia. I made some updates to my city, and now it works flawlessly
A GUI option in the Settings app to limit charging to 80%, extending the life of the device.
I walk through some neighbourhoods with many high-risk apartments, and there is so much interference from all the Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, and other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz, that even the best wireless headphones skip & stutter playback.
It also takes so much longer to switch wireless headphones to a different device, especially when they all compete to connect to the headphones.
Let me make the decision when to use wireless, don’t make it for me. A DAC USB-C dongle is dumb.
Both GNOME & KDE already have builds you can do this with. E.g. Mobian, which uses a lot of the work Purism has done with PureOS, is working to make even default Debian work. You can install Android apps with Waydroid, and install it on Android devices like Pixel, OnePlus, in addition to Linux native devices.
The two most common sources of microplastics that enter your body are from the vessels you eat/drink from, and from particles in the air from things like clothes, carpets, furniture, linens.
How to avoid? Use stainless steel, aluminum, copper, (or other metals), ceramic, or glass storage vessels for things like water (including your Brita) for warming things in the microwave, or for storing food, and reduce buying things in plastic if you plan on keeping them there for awhile (eg glass ketchup bottle). Replace any plastic water pipes in your wall with good ol copper. My main water vessels are all stainless steel.
For particulate, consider air filtration, buy clothes/furniture/carpets made from natural animal/ sources like cotton, wool, bamboo, avoiding plastics like polyester. That includes your scrubbing utensil for dishes. Your carpets are probably made with some sort of plastic, so if it’s too much to do hardwood, or replace with a natural fibre, the Dyson vacuums are good at getting out loose microplastics.
Be warned, one time I almost bought a stainless steel cup from a reputable retailer, and upon further investigation it was just plastic with a steel coating… Yep, made in Communist China…
