Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.
DokuWiki. Everything is a text file that can just be copied to a web server. It doesn't even require a database. And since all the wiki pages are plaintext markdown files, they can still be easily accessed and read even when the server is down.
If you are using Linux, it does not get any simpler than Gnome Boxes. If you need more options, virt-manager is still fairly easy to use.
I use Downpour for Audiobooks. It is similar to Audible where audiobooks can be purchased individually, or there is a subscription that provides credits to purchase audiobooks. The audiobooks are drm-free and can be downloaded. I have not found a way to automate the download and transfer to my Audiobookshelf server, but I don’t mind doing it manually considering I average around two or three audiobooks a month.
how can I find out if it will run on my old Samsung Galaxy S7?
It won't. GrapheneOS only supports recent Pixel phones.
Ente is another option that I have been using for almost 2 years now. It's end-to-end encrypted and open source with an app on F-Droid. There have been a lot of updates over the last year that have significantly improved the experience using the app.
Yes, that's still true. If you want to be able to use a third-party mail app, I would look at Fastmail or Mailbox.org. They don't have free plans though.
