How well do communication apps work on it (Whatsapp, Signal, Discord)? Backups? Media (not as important)?
Increasingly thinking of relegating my iPhone to 2FA and maybe banking only.

Everything that works on desktop GNU/Linux should work on the phone, too. I use Pika Backup app.

AFAIK none of the apps you listed officially support Linux ARM, so you have to go through some configuration unfortunately. I do not use any of them, I use Matrix.

Are you talking about watching videos and listening to music? It works fine.
Guess I'll have a look myself soon when I'm ready for some fiddliness. Sounds promising enough.
