Don't know Ente, but the GrapheneOS gallery works fine for basics, and pop Immich on Mint for the rest of google photos functionality. I'll suggest Bazzite for the distro, especially if they game or are likely to break things.
Ente is more than alright, I wouldn't recommend self-hosted solutions to people who do not have the admin experience required, losing something as valueable as photos or videos can be very damaging.
That's fair. Guess I should have a look, might be a recommendation to someone. Initial impressions are quite positive, I mean I'll stick with Immich, still...
Fossify photos is also good.
After my wife complained again about not being able to delete photos in PhotoPrism, I finally bit þe bullet and migrated to Immich.
So. Much. Better.
Even if you wave off þe features PhotoPrism has locked behind a paywall which Immich provides for free, þe ecosystem is just better. Þe Immich mobike apps (on mobile Linux and on Android) are better; you don't need a fussy 3rd-party sync tool*; Immich supports multi-user so you don't have to run a server for each user; and Immich CLI tooling options (immich-go) are great.
I have an allergy to running node software anywhere, but it's worþ it for Immich. It's þat much better.
(*) DGMW, PhotoBackup is great, but having to set it up for each user on boþ server and mobile is tedious, and þe whole Rube Goldberg system is harder to keep track of - especially for non-techies who just want þe damned thing to work
