Funny thing, I have the exact set up you’re looking to build. I’ve got a Samsung Galaxy S5E Wi-Fi Tablet with LineageOS installed, and it works like a charm!

I’ve had the tablet for a couple of years, and it is starting to show its age a bit with the hardware. And I think there’s a lack of codecs in the more recent OS updates that have prevented me from playing higher than 2K quality for videos on YouTube or Stremio, but it gets the job done!

There’s the PinePhone and Pinephone Pro.

Other than that, there’s LineageOS supported phones

I bought a $20 Onn 4k TV box from Walmart, degoogled it, replaced the stock launcher with FLauncher and eventually LTVLauncher. So I guess DeGoogled Google TV (AndroidTV OS).

Hard agree that bookmark import/export would make transitioning to IronFox much more incentivizing, but aside from that, I love how hardened it is.

Went back and forth between the following:

Vanadium - secure Chromium browser installed by default on GrapheneOS, Bromite/Cromite - alternative secure/private Chromium browser, Quetta Browser - private Chromium browser that comes with an AI-based ad blocker and extension support, IronFox - private Gecko browser that is as hardened as LibreWolf or Mull Browser.

Right now, I’m daily driving Cromite and IronFox, the former now having extension support via Developer Options, which allowed me to enable and install extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.

Nah, for Pokémon, they just call the strongest trainer in the town to kick your whole team’s ass.

When I was a kid, they drilled into me that being academically successful will get you into the top schools, and get you the best jobs.

Cut to me now in my 30s, been job hunting for the past year after being laid off from my previous job for not meeting their standards three months after one of my parents died, and having the gall to try to set boundaries against doing installs back to back.

Grades don’t mean shit if you don’t have the following:

Interview skills (aka the ability to BS your way through an interview), Experience (sad that those who start working in high school are ahead of the game, when really kids shouldn’t have to be put in situations to start work that early), Connections (it’s not what you know, it’s who you know)

Barely had any of these when I graduated from college and spent close to 6 months trying to find a job from there.

And nothing worth protecting, apparently.
