Swapfile instead of partition so I don’t risk losing my data if I don’t have enough memory (haven’t checked out ZRAM yet) Welp that changed quickly, ZRAM looks insane
GRUB as bootloader, also a separate install for every distro, kinda just out of fear that I’ll break it somehow
I currently use a ZTE Blade V Smart/ZTE 2050, which cost me 150€, pretty cheap, but still very usable (bought it a few years ago so that exact model isn’t worth it anymore, I had generally not absolutely terrible experience with ZTE phones before, tho). I also have a newer phone that I don’t use for no reason, a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, which cost me 200€.
