Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations (link to 2025 Priorities -> Focus on Reliabilty, Audi, Camera, etc) (postmarketos.org)

A notable mention is https://ubports.com/en/ which is different from postmarketos in a sense that ubports uses old kernels with heavy patches. That means: good support for things, but difficult future.

PostmarketOS uses the newest kernels and tries to integrate their patches into mainline kernel, so that the reliability is maintained with all kernel developers.

Can i play minecraft on it though? Ive got a horse ranch that I'd really like to continue

Java is inherently cross platform, and works well on linux. So assuming the phone is powerful enough, you should be good to go even if it's linux.

Definitely worth checking out Minetest/Luanti though, it has promise.

Absolutely! The controls might suck and regular phone features might be iffy, but you could totally run the Java version of Minecraft if you wanted. No guarantees about performance though.

How do you tame a horse in Minecraft?

I need to know for... Reasons.

Just try mounting it, if you get bucked, try again.
