I'm using Graphene but honestly the biggest thing is that Lineage devs wouldn't care if you root, while Graphene devs obviously do because it screws the whole point of Graphene

No, its a hyphen you used. - vs – vs — (hyphen, en, em). Most android keyboards make typing the em dash easy, and there are plenty of ways to set it up on desktop

Espanso can be set up to make it easier, along with Powertoys on Windows and alt+shift+dash on the mac keyboard layout

I set up espanso to replace -= with the em dash when I type because I like its aesthetic. I used to use the compose key, and on Windows I'd had an AHK shortcut for it. On Android GBoard has the em dash as an option which long pressing on the dash, while FUTO makes it available just from the letter g.

but that looks worse, it's horrible.

i have espanso set up to quick replace "-=" with — on desktop and on my phone i use futo keyboard, which has the aesthetically inspring em dash one hold and swipe on the h key away.

Mostly agree but Firefox does not have the best Android extensions. Kiwi thrashes Firefox and Iceraven is better too with support for custom ones

I disagree. For me, it's superior.

GNOME is better than macos imo

I think you can remove it by disabling play protect, no?

Linux-dedicated hardware is growing so I do think this will be avoidable. They might not be on ARM but they will likely still be sold and exist (unlike with mobile where say a Linux phone is unusable).

Brave is homophobic (to slightly oversimplify). Why not Vivaldi?

I'n a proud adblock user but that makes no sense. High quality video storage & streaming is costly.

This. I'm on EndeavorOS on crappy hardware as my only device, and I daily drive Firefox, but sometimes, Firefox simply doesn't load a website (i.e. coveragemap), and for this reason I have Chromium on the device in case. Also, Firefox crashes when I have too many tabs open.
