Still have to find an app who can sort albums by year properly (without mess with tags also).
I think it's maybe to add a security layer in the case of crashes but I don't really know. Simple apps were good since they had the same UI and the transation felt good.
Dialer apps are a mess, waiting for Fossify also here
Archlinux has the best wiki and community for every type of issue.
Steam Decks?
Oh, I'm sure we're all great parents here. I applaud you for admitting a mistake and having the humility to ask for advice, both excellent parenting skills in my opinion.
I believe the answer is always culture. Once better videogames are discovered it's likely that they will hardly go back to the bad ones (so that the problem of prohibitionism - which is only a temporary solution - can be solved).
I've installed Flowit, Xeonjia, Parlera and Pirate Solitaire.

I also was an user but Aves Libre is a very good replace if you don't mind the video editing aspect. But yeah, that app also probably deserve a good fork.
There're good alternatives for every app, the only real lost are contacts and dialer, imo.
