I'm playing with openSD on an old low resource minitower (1gb RAM)
It's pretty barebones but surprisingly snappy.
xfce4 failed so I'll stick with fvwm for now but gimp3 ran fine and firefox is doing pretty well.
I'm still figuring how to use customisation files like .xsession but the man pages are more readable than I've found for linux.

I'll take any suggestions for what to look into to make it look better, is openbox any good?

also want to try a window manager
tried i3 but it was borked out of the box for me
and the default window manager wouldn't run ungoogled-chromium out of the box
also couldn't get ublock origin or ublock origin lite to work on ungoogled chromium
tried some online crx chrome extension converter for further workaround attempt but somehow the system crashed when it started to download the result
not so shrimple after all

I don't know if it'll help you, but I just came across this blog about how you can customise the base system window manager CWM to do pretty cool things.
https://antonyfb.com/blog/my-cwm-config.html

I'm still looking to get more aquanted with these systems but it seems pretty flexible so I want to try out what I can if it means my incredibly constrained system is usable.

I am buying a Google Pixel 7a because my Samsung A03s doesn't work with voicemail and doesn't charge properly.

What am I in for buying a Google Pixel 7a? What did I do wrong with my Samsung?

Is Google Pixel 7a a good phone? I heard mixed things about Google Pixels being slow but other things about it being really useful. The one I am getting is octa-core and has 128 gigabytes.

Not that it makes it much better, but it's actually Angular.
I think JavaScript frameworks are a necessary evil in web dev since they provide some barriers to keep retards caged in and less able to fuck shit up.
To continue about that guy, for months I was fuming with his code and how it was bad, but the scrum master/full stack guy who was the one mostly delegating and keeping things on track hadn't yet experienced the horror. Eventually he started to be affected by it and understood my whining and they've made steps to try and get his code up to a higher standard.
It's still not and I'm extra tough on his PRs, but it's better.

Hence the portable, ungoogled switch suggestion. That and standard tweaks available from the settings panel get you down to literal zero spying or pointless homecalling. Not one unsolicited connection is ever established, much like in PaleMoon based browsers.

I put it off for a while because of the aforementioned hijacking, but when operated correctly it's perfectly safe.
