Steamos is based on arch so they are helping with upstream development

Ya I’m using the English 79 model (not the default) voice on a pixel 8 and it works very well.

Conversely I have a dell xps from 2018 that run very well with fedora atomic (kde). I upgraded the SSD, WiFi card and replaced the battery. Should easily last me another 5 years

So far it seems quite impressive. Also has scroll on spacebar swipe which I wasn’t expecting but is a great touch.

Not sure I can live without a gif search but given that would require network access and reduce privacy, maybe it makes sense to just change to gboard when needing gif search then switch back for everything else. Not too annoying so far.

I’ve been meaning to try helisboard buy having to add in the swipe and then also add in futo voice to text felt like a project and this is an all in one which is great.

It’s not open source it’s source available, it won’t ever be on fdroid main repository

This is the way, immich is insanely fast and performant

Locally hosted bitwarden (vault warden) that is only accessible on your local network is the way to go. When a new sync is needed away from home, wireguard VPN to connect back in makes everything nice and secure. Otherwise most of the time the vault is cached to the device locally so you don’t need to phone home to access passwords.

To be fair, an app for Samsung TVs would be great. Currently you need a complicated work around to get it working.

I recently got a hostinger (Titan mail) account as well with a custom domain. So far I just use it to sebd notification email (hard drive failure, ups activation etc).

Works quite well. Not sure if I’ll migrate my phone email there but I’m glad I at least started using a custom domain
