Thank you, it is for me too. I've been running linux and bsd for 15 years, and now I've realized that my phone and the services I use have been a blind spot. I have two phones that are supported to install but only through adb. What does os version S,T,U mean in the list?
Aha! Thank you :) My next phone will definitely be /e/os then. I can't really justify buying a new phone now when my old phone works, but maybe a refurbished one wouldn't add to e-waste I guess.
How does it work to get banking apps and similar on /e/os? Do you have to sideload?
I hated Gnome 3 when it came out, but it got better over the years. If you want to use it as a traditional KDE-style DE, you're going to fight it and have a bad time. If you use it as intended, and that works for you, it's good.
I kind of see mythology as people trying to make sense of the world and themselves. Our hopes and fears and why things happen. We don't think of it in terms of gods anymore, but we're still affected by the history of religion and philosophy. We can say we've abandoned all these lies about supernatural beings, but I wonder to what degree we're still operating within the framework it provided.
I've had this idea a few times over the years, but I always get stuck at figuring out: what is it actually I want to happen? If I remove a local file, should it be removed from the backup too? If I edit a file, should the newer version replace the old in the backup, or be saved separately, or just the delta between the files? I could never decide what I wanted.
An hour to find a notepad? Most desktop environments come with some simple text editor. And if you're running something minimal, there's always nano or vim.
If some software is not found by apt search, I usually start to wonder, is it not free software? In that case I'd rather find an alternative. Some times I have to go to the softwares web site, where they have install instructions, but that's the exception.
Is it known which distro they are using?

Oh! I misunderstood.
Do you mean as opposed to using phones/tablets, or do you mean like having a tower computer and peripherals? People still use laptops and stationary computers for work, like office work and computer related hobbies and anything like it. For doomscrolling and simple games, phones are more popular though.
