I have decided against Aura because it splits the commands for AUR from the standard repos. With paru I can upgrade both by running just paru. In the end, that’s all I mostly do with an aur helper.

From what I can gather, they don’t intend on adding multi device capabilities for technical reasons. A big requirement for me is to be able to use both mobile and desktop without losing the history.

Well, Opera is also based on Chromium.

They plan a release for 2028. It’s going to be a while before it can be used for everyday browsing.

Jump ship to what? Not like there’s s lot of choices out there. You could always try LibreWolf.

Not really. Helix is closer to Kakoune which is based on the modal editing of Vim but reimagined a bit.

I’m pretty satisfied with Fluffy but the clients do still need a lot of work indeed.

There’s a pretty simple reason. It’s that developers don’t have to spend the time to package for every single distro. I know I wouldn’t, I’d just focus on packaging for the distro that I use and flatpak. Having flatpak also means that some less known distros start with a big amount of apps available from the get go with flatpak.

Organic Maps is really good but beware that it doesn’t have lane assistance on highways which can prove to be dangerous imo.

When I was a kid, I used to “play” Operation Flashpoint. I remember being too dumb to realise that the mouse was used to move the camera so it was basically me moving around with arrow keys and strafing to see a little to the left and right.
