I’m not familiar with QRD?

My advice would be to go for a 7th gen or upwards if your going intel as the processers igpu is what I would consider your minimum, secondly massgrave.dev should sort out your activation/licensing issues and also look into sunshine/moonlight for game streaming rather than steam link potentially

Look into obtainium for downloading apks from github, you can grab it from fdroid

Diskprices.com never used this but bookmarked it ages ago

Nicotine+, a soulseek client

Not graphene specific but nzb360 is a great paid app for managing your arr stack that isn’t available on iOS & Well worth the price imo. Obtanium for GitHub apps, shizuku can do some cool stuff that would ordinarily require root, revanced manger for youtube if your still using Google or newpipe from fdroid if not. Use the aurora store to avoid Google play. Seeker is an android based soulseek client on fdroid for music. That’s all I can think of for now.
