I've had Nobara on my PC for several years and not had a problem, though I know others have

Having said that, if I could be bothered I would probably just return to regular Fedora again so that I could have a decent package manager and updater...

I just wasn't aware that Lineage is degoogled, that's all.

It's not some conspiracy against Lineage, Lineage seems great. Haven't used it in a while but that's just because I use e/OS personally.

I have /e/ on my Fairphone 5 and I like it well enough. I was looking for a degoogled European android ROM and it works OK for that. My banking apps etc. all work and I only occasionally have problems with apps relying too heavily on Google services and therefore not working.

They definitely have better integration with Murena services but I use Proton instead and I've not had a problem.

I've heard good things about iodé too.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. In broad strokes, here's the thinking to reply to a few comments at once:

  1. We didn't want to use a phone-based solution because she doesn't always carry her phone in the middle of the night. This goes for carrying a button.

  2. A LifeAlert system could work, but they usually involve buttons.

After talking about it, we realised that simply putting out a baby monitor or equivalent might be the most effective - she can shout at it and it will go direct. An alternative would be setting up a HA alert to broadcast based on a phrase (or a few). We'll weigh up the options but I'm leaning towards the former.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the ideas - I think HA might not be the solution after all, but hopefully I can keep them from installing wiretaps Amazon Alexa in their house.

My partner and I played Roottrees together and I think it might have been our favourite game ever. We really enjoyed The Case of the Golden Idol too which scratches a similar itch (though I would love for them to make a Roottrees sequel)
