Back up your music data to an external & a cloud backup. Then the OS matters less.

I inherently distrust anything with crypto mixed in

Nice design! I kinda feel like dove in lock in shield is a bit much. Maybe try making them the same size and putting them side by side?

If the confidence you want is for dating purposes, you need to get comfortable with:

• figuring out what situations you’re comfortable in where single women are present: not one for clubs and bars? What about pickleball or ceramics or a book club? Try new things that have some chance of having people you want to date.
• figuring out what specifically makes you uncomfortable, then facing it. Is it fear of rejection? Fear of being vulnerable? Certain kinds of social situations? Understand that rejection is part of learning and vulnerability is required (in appropriate amounts based on context) to connect.
• don’t hyperfixate on any one woman or one event. Spotted a baddie? Go for it if she seems open to interaction, but don’t make getting her contact info into a make or break for your whole night.
• learn to spot cues and hints that someone is or isn’t into having or continuing an interaction: is she trying to put effort into conversion with you or shutting it down (even politely)?
• Stay a million miles away from the toxic “manosphere” and their incel fuckery. There is nothing of value there.

Seafile is a good option

Alternative OSes for phones use the same carriers as everyone else. You can choose to use your phone on wifi only, without a carrier, to avoid using a carrier. You can also choose to use a VPN to make your data inaccessible to the carrier (although they’d be able to tell what cell towers you connect to).

In order to switch over, check the compatibility information for each of the OSes you’re looking at. If you don’t have a compatible phone, you’ll need to get one. Then you follow the install instructions for the chosen OS. GrapheneOS was very easy to install for me – I switched to it when my old phone broke.
