I'm talking from a general user perspective who often can't even differentiate between chipsets let alone look for such details.

People used to got to Custom ROMs because OEMs were really doing shit job, that's not the case now given now.

Honestly, Custom ROMs have been in decline of usage since few years. There are also Other ROMS like Pixel Experience, PixyOS, Havoc, evolutionX, PixelOS, Paranoid, Derpfest, CrDroid and lot more.

The reason for the drop is due to a combination of reasons like better OEM UI, unpublished Kernel code (Chinese OEMs, Mediatek), locked bootloaders and Safetynet issues.

I'm currently rocking CrDroid it has currently ~85K active devices (https://stats.crdroid.net/).

You can also drop ClearURLs filter. Better filters that are more up to date exists exists on uBlock like Adguard URL Tracking Protection and Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool.

Yup. I like the std. Material You variant, and it covers most of the apps (6 apps missing)

They have abandoned the app and multitudes of others in favour to their closed source apps. Multiple Open Source apps exists to fill the gaps though.

Exactly.

I have often found malware apps with all sorts of permission on my relatives phones which suddenly started to lag alot. These folders can be easily exploited by malware apps, so its kinda good.

Adobe and MS Office for me are far bigger reasons for me.

W10 also has Edge bundled as system software.

This. They haven't opened up the RCS stuff till now on Android to other apps.

High time WhatsApp allowed backup to other cloud solutions like Dropbox/OndeDrive/others

I have seen people having WhatsApp Backup of upwards of 5-8 GB

New comparison:

I have never been able to find a foss app that's as good as TickTick.

I tried various apps like tasks.org and more, but I kept coming back to TickTick

You can use Annas Archive as alternative. More content.

Was reading about Monaspace earlier. How would you compare it against something like Fira Code?

I actually got it 2 weeks ago but after that a new chrome update disabled the new UI.

The new UI does look promising to me

What's the usual cost for self hosting a server? Also, is there some way I can use Google Drives/OneDrive/Mega as storage solution for these services?

Yes. Exactly. They need to make it as butter smooth as possible and MS might struggle a bit here due to so much legacy stuff they support till date.

They have moved to 10nm nodes which have density of 7nm nodes of TSMC afaik. They call these nodes Intel 7.

Afaik, Intel is also planning to move Intel 5 and other nodes.

IMO 4th point is very important. For both linux and windows, they need to get that right for immediate transition requirements to ARM.
