Things may have changed but I remember looking 6 years ago for alternatives and on Samsung phones they didn’t work. Their Knox security implementation really busted the ROM community on Samsung phones.

Also, you could use Aurora Store which allows play store app downloads without a google account.
There are issues that can pop up and is something you’d need to look into on app by app basis. Lately, it seems they have most banking apps working though.

I remember seeing that Openwrt is working on getting their own hardware sometime in the future. Might be worth looking at when the time comes. I’ll stick with merlin until that goes the same way.

And they wonder why we get all these migrants at our southern border. Maybe if they hadn’t destabilized the entire region to the south people wouldn’t be trying to escape those places.
