I used Google Messages directly for a while, but then a Matrix bridge that uses Google Messages was released, so now I use that. If you want to try it, matrix-docker-ansible-deploy makes it really easy to self-host, but if you don't want to do that, something like Beeper can probably do it.

EMS doesn't support bridges unless you pay for the highest tier, but the list you linked is good.

Maybe try input-remapper.

etke.cc does that.

Also rooting in the first place and installing "modules" that extend functionality.

When performing a gesture, the animation on screen matches up to the motion of your fingers. Stopping moving your fingers halfway will stop the animation halfway, and moving slowly will slow the animation.

Wayland. It generally works a bit better at this point, and it will only continue improving while X11 falls behind. I occasionally need to switch back to X.org for some legacy screen-casting or remote desktop apps, but even the ones that support Linux as an afterthought are starting to add beta Wayland support.

A bit of donations, a bit of unpaid people contributing just to help others.

Why won't you use Flatpak? That's exactly what it's for.

Shouldn't long-pressing a key type the key repeatedly?

GNOME with Pop!_Shell, Forge, or Material Shell works well, as does KDE with Polonium.

Pretty much anything with XFCE, LXDE/LXQt, Cinnamon, MATE, a window manager like Sway or i3, or probably some others I'm forgetting, will work just fine. GNOME and KDE are the most popular but the slowest, and from what I remember, Deepin, Budgie, and Pantheon are somewhat slow.

Linux has a "compose key," which lets you press the compose key, O, then /, which makes that character (Ø and ø, to show it working, as well as ∞, ™, °, ², ß, ä, →, and many more). There's a port for Windows called WinCompose.

They did not show any animations in the keynote, suggesting that it may have similar refresh rate issues to a standard color E-ink display.

This may not fit your needs, but matrix-docker-ansible-deploy is really good, and it uses Docker and Traefik by default.

Relevant xkcd

True, but then it's complicated to install anything that's not available through a Flatpak, and a lot of online guides don't work. I love immutable distros (I use one myself), but I think they're best for either advanced users who can work around the quirks or basic users who only need the web browser and a few Flatpak apps.

At the very least, if Framework dies, many of the parts are standardized, and the ones that aren't are mostly open source. The SSD, RAM, WiFi card, and screen connector are all standardized. The expansion cards use USB-C and have an open-source shape; many people have already made third-party expansion cards. The motherboard has an open-source layout, and there are open-source CAD files to make custom enclosures (again, people have already done it). There are general schematics with pinouts on their Github, and they've provided exact schematics to repair stores. If they die, you end up with a laptop that is more repairable than almost any other, as well as a community with enough information to keep it alive if they want to.

It's not just a "missing Apple logo" that makes parts not work. If you swap a part from one Apple device to another identical Apple device, it will often not work. For example, the Face ID and Touch ID sensors are paired to the logic board.
