I don’t play EA games it’s being years. My Steam profile description is “#NoEAGames #NoUbisoftGames”.

There’s even some really good old games from EA but I just don’t play it, and that’s it.

No I think not, but reading the README of DNSNet they mention Rethink, I tried it here and I think it might work similar to AdGuard. https://rethinkdns.com/

Rethink DNS exclusively uses DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS to encrypt and secure your DNS queries.

I’m not sure but I suppose it does since it’s a local VPN, it log all requests being made, why wouldn’t it block https?

I think you still can have a Linux phone with GNOME, there’s a GNOME version for mobile.

After all, what is a smartphone? Just a convenient computer that can make calls.

Linux + GNOME will do that for you.

This is from 2022 and it looks pretty good to me: https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2022/09/09/gnome-shell-on-mobile-an-update/
