You might want to look into sunshine and moonlight for streaming from your PC to the steamdeck. It means your deck will only sip battery, fans will be whisper quite, and the graphics will be stellar, all for a tiny amount of latency.

Signal is also a great alternative to WhatsApp. Molly for the extra privacy focused.

A bit more setup is required but I love having a Wise (formerly TransferWise) account for the virtual cards and the low fee currency conversion.

I don't believe that's a pixel specific benefit but yes relocking the bootloader is best for security. The unlocking process is needed to install an alternative OS though.

For those on Pixel devices, check out GrapheneOS. If not CalyxOS or LineageOS

Its important that we have devices that we control. If your phone doesn't allow bootloader unlock so you can install a different operating system, that's a problem. Claims that security is compromised if bootloaders can be unlocked are just companies using a convenient excuse to maintain control over a device you paid for.
