Is there any advantage of doing that over just using an Email client like Thunderbird or FairEmail?

How can it play Java? Through custom mappings and adding it as a non steam game?

I recommend switching to desktop mode, installing Prism Launcher as a Flatpak, then creating an instance with the Fabric modloader, and installing a mod that provides good controller support, such as Controlify or MidnightControls.

Doesnt it run arch?

Yeah, it runs SteamOS 3, a modified, image-based Arch derivative maintained by Valve. Not to be confused with earlier versions of SteamOS, which were based on Debian.

And bedrock?

Since Android is based on Linux, you can run Android apps fairly easily on Linux-based systems. There's a community-made launcher (https://minecraft-linux.github.io/), which leverages this advantage and lets you easily install and play the Android version. You can also get it as a Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher

"Proper" mobile Linux has never been a serious thing except maybe during the Nokia N900 era (It was released in 2009.). So I don't really get what you're trying to say with that statement.

I'm talking about developments such as postmarketOS, Ubuntu Touch/UBports, Phosh (mobile GNOME), Plasma Mobile, etc.

I see so many people here on Lemmy who are desperately waiting for Linux phones to replace their iPhones or Android phones, without realizing that idea is absolutely utopian and unrealistic.

An image-based system would be the bare minimum to achieve basic security, but there would still be so many security issues compared to Android and iOS, that I don’t think Linux phones are worth putting time and development effort into.

AOSP is a fantastic base for open source mobile systems. The FOSS mobile development community should rather shift its focus to AOSP, develop a good understanding of it and get familiar with the code, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with mobile Linux distros.

I know about the security issues in desktop Linux, but I still think secureblue fits that level of the iceberg pretty well. I would put Qubes there as well.

Just fyi, you need to use two tildes to for strikethrough. With only one tilde you get subscript.

You could add secureblue. I would put it in the same category as GrapheneOS and Vanadium.

Chromium-based browsers have arguably better security than Firefox. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

Vanadium further improves Chromium's security by disabling the JS JIT Compiler, using a hardened memory allocator (GrapheneOS hardened_malloc) enabling ARMv8.5 MTE, and applying other hardening patches (https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/tree/main/patches).

The secureblue project maintains a hardened Chromium build for Linux called Trivalent, which uses most of the patches from Vanadium, among others. You can get it from their repo: https://repo.secureblue.dev/secureblue.repo

Not true. You can link it to your Unraid.net account using Unraid Connect: https://docs.unraid.net/account/link-key/

Sure, it's not perfect, but still the best option for beginners.

Unraid is great for beginners.
