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


Only after, not before.


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


As a Linux user... I should be embarrassed to not have set up a keybind for this. Not sure why I didn't think of it before!


Hello, felloe Linux user!

That being said, fyi, most Linux distros (or at least many!) have by default the shortcut `ctrl+shift+U` then the hex value of the Unicode character.

So, for example, the en dash is U+2013 and the em dash is U+2014, so you would press `ctrl+shift+U` then type in "2014" then space and it inputs it!

I use it all the time! It's very useful!


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.


I think they did fix Linux support intentionally for Linux users iirc


It worked for some years and was as easy as downloading something from Flathub, then near March they announced they will be blocking it again[0]. The only options now are to do hacky Android emulation with Waydroid to run the Android client, or Windows VM with GPU passthrough, neither of which are reasonable options for most people

They did for a while, but recently officially broke it again.


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


There are plenty available for mobile now, which ones are you still missing?


I disagree. For me, it's superior.


GNOME is better than macos imo


As a decade old macOS user, I agree. I don’t want to use macOS after Gnome. I like the new one. It’s 45 now, but I think the major update was either 44 or 43.
