I believe I read there was only one package maintainer for Gnome on Arch, which is why the release took longer. We have to remember it's often just regular people, or in that case, person, who maintains this stuff for free or very little. And just because upstream made a release doesn't mean it's a simple drop-in to our distro of choice.

Yeah it's a little odd using it on android due to the iOS design, and for some reason the framerate of navigating around is very low/choppy for me. Not sure if webapps have limitations that way but otherwise it's a great app.
I've been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000's. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.
In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn't remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.
I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that's a whole other rabbit hole!
I migrated back to android a few months ago from about 5 years on iOS and watchOS. I generally "switch teams" every few years and both platforms have their strengths.
I have a pixel watch now and there are a couple of compromises coming from an apple watch in my use case. Battery is no where near as good. The Stocard app where you can store many of your retail store loyalty cards is handy on a watch to load up the bar code to scan at stores, the pixel watch loads up a very small bar code that many scanners have trouble with so I just pull out my phone for that.
But on the other hand having a watch face that is not just one of apples approved 15 faces is nice. I like the circular design more.
I put this in my taskbar which helped me stop running paru habitually.
As well as Nextcloud! It's my pick as well.
Canada's "insert industry here" concentrated in too few hands.
How many can we come up with that are true, you think?
Is running VM's possible on more android devices now? I haven't kept up on that but remember the pixel devices having KVM support? I have been using the Opaque app + tailscale to connect to my proxmox VMs from my Galaxy tab if I'm travelling and need a full desktop for something. Works pretty well.
I'm still there as well, so much to complete still. I want to finish it so I can go back and finish Hogwarts legacy so that I can go back to my regular scheduled program of FFXIV.
