I used to self host some stuff on an old 2011 iMac. Worked fine, actually
Kinda, yeah! These kinda remind me of some of the icon packs I used on my jailbroken iPod Touch!
I honestly just did nix-env -i flatpak then rebooted, so I'm not sure...
Edit: Did it the configuration.nix way to make sure everything was in the path, and it works now. Thanks!
It's the XFCE one. Not Whisker Menu, but the default one.
Yes, I did restart afterwards, and unfortunately it didn't work.
You might be able to find a super lightweight desktop distro out there (I think Damn Small Linux can run on those specs?) or you could repurpose it as a basic server of some sort like you mentioned. Unless you wanted to invest in some cheap old ram to throw in there and maybe make it a bit faster, then I think those would be your best options.

I've been using it on my Fedora laptop for the past week or so and it's really nice, even in alpha 1! Can't wait to see how it turns out fully finished!
I was so happy about this! Been using it on my work MacBook and have been excited to use it on my main laptop!
Windows 10 before I used Linux full-time, though I did try out Windows 11.
My only major complaint is their free-tier is a bit lacking compared to what Skiff had (or I guess has, but not for much longer.) I think their platform is great, and definitely worth paying for, but given I'm a broke college student that's not much of an option. Also their support for third party clients (or lack thereof) isn't great, though I don't use those as much. Otherwise I like it quite a bit!

Out of the options you mentioned, Pixel with a custom rom (GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, etc.) is probably the best bet. Seconded by any Samsung that could run a custom rom, though I agree with others here that the hardware is better on the Pixels. Plus they have extra security hardware features that will be better. Of course, if things are weird with your telecom, that might effect things (trust me, been there with an Ubuntu Touch phone before.)
Another option you could look at depending on where you are is Murena's phones. They have a bunch of options pre-flashed with their de-Googled rom /e/ os. Not my favorite rom, but still not bad! And of course those can be flashed with another rom if you want as well!
