Not smoke.

I personally fucking hate it. But my whole friends group use it for events (bad, birthdays), and messenger chat.

How do you convince ~30 people to switch to something else?

What app do they switch to?

Is it just me or is that more of a hinderance?

Has options for pasting, and even a clipboard history feature? Although have not enabled that or tested it.

Same. I've been attempting to de-Google and stick with FOSS where possible, but only Lawnchair has come close to Nova Launcher, but it's not without its limitations like setting a primary home screen, and better widget padding and removing round corners.

I'm still experimenting with others, but many are no longer under active development either.

Agreed. Plenty of notes apps; none with decent collaboration features.

I went with FUTO Keyboard. It's the only keyboard that ticks all my boxes to replace GBoard so far.

I wish the swiping predictions were a bit better though.

Is this also how they know which ads to feed you?

I tried it and was underwhelmed, but also overwhelmed.

I love the idea of choosing everything I want, but Arch also meant the pain of learning to install everything I actually need first.

Is there a minimalistic distro that installs all just the essentials (drivers, services like DHCP, a package manager, desktop GUI), and then I choose from there?

I started moving from Firefox to LibreWolf and found a few too many convenient features broke.

I think password and bookmark syncing was too difficult to move away from, as I use them across devices/phone.

Haven't had time to research alternative methods or practices.

Satire is well & truly dead.

Yeah. Then I'll fill up my free 15gb quota with garbage OS files, and be prompted to pay a subscription to backup the other 1-2tb of data.
