I mean hey, anything's better the iOS lol. I don't think rooting is a good idea, but anyone running a custom aosp ROM is an ally of mine. We custom ROM users gotta stick together!

Well I mean they are on the official repo, idk what else they would do
Don't know why the hell you'd need a streaming service in your car anyways
So what part of this requires root again? They all work fine without root.
I have a degoogled phone without root lol, I'm running GrapheneOS. All you're doing is opening yourself to his security vulnerabilities with root. Desktops are entirely different then phones. Everything you mentioned does not require root.
I don't know why you'd need to root in 2023. I'd stick to a secure custom OS instead that can have secure boot. Something like CalyxOS or GrapheneOS. Lineage or /e/ or something if you don't have a pixel.
No Steam Deck??
Honestly should try Droid-ify. It's a much better and modern f-droid client. A lot of the design decisions of the official client baffles me.
