Ok, sure. I recognize that not everyone has a computer. And sure, an F-droid release would be really helpful for those people, if "build it yourself" was the only way to get the app.
But ... It's not like the app is inaccessible. It's on the play store. You can install it.
My main frustration is the outright demand for the project creator to "Just release it on F-Droid" - Something that requires the creator to get familiar with F-droid and do the extra leg-work to release it there. But ... It's an open source app, created for free by someone who wanted to create it. They owe you nothing. Not even "good distribution".
Well, currently I have on a pair of knit mid-thigh socks and they're fun. But I also got a pack of socks recently that have designs celebrating Ichiraku Ramen from Naruto Shippuden, and my Christmas gift from a good friend was some toe-socks with rubber grips on the bottom - Quite unique and fun to wear.
I beg you forgive my pedantic interjection, but ... I posit that the original commenter is incorrect. it is absolutely native execution.
The CPU is fetching and executing the instructions directly from memory, without any (additional) interpretation of code or emulation of missing instructions - Which is, by definition, native execution.
What the compatibility layer "does" is provide a mapping of Windows system calls into the appropriate Linux system calls. Or, in other words, makes it so that calls to functions like CreateWindowEx() in the Win32 API have a (still native) execution path.
The native execution requires you to install WINE, yes, but if we're disqualifying it because "it requires you to install a package", then we also consequently:
Add things like "print stuff", "display graphical applications", and "play audio" to the list of "things Linux can't do"
Disqualifies Windows from "natively executing" any .NET applications (a Microsoft-built first-party framework), since .NET applications require you to install .NET.
Screen (and any other muxer) can scroll just fine. You just have to learn how to do it in each one. Tmux, for example, is ctrl+b [ to enter scroll mode.
mistyped file operations
Get a good TUI file manager. I use and recommend ranger.
The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.
I like socks. All kinds. Footie socks, ankle, calf length, knee high, thigh high, stockings... I've only just realized this in the last year or so but now I'm constantly wearing fun socks.
