The Donbass portion of the Russo-Ukrainian war had a fewer belligerents, a lot lower population density, and was fought between conventional combatants. It was also over 6 years.
The Israel-Hamas war has more belligerents, over 50x population density, is fought between a conventional army and an insurgency who has specifically said that safety of the population isn't their problem, and is being run a lot faster than 6 years. Reported death rates have already slowed down a lot.
Also according to the UN: https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm 90% of war time casualties are civilians. The estimated 13k civilians killed in Gaza are weighed against an estimated 7k Hamas killed. That gives about a 2:1 ratio, much better than the global average.
War is always disgusting.
Why have 3 mental health and no monies, when I can have no mental health and 3 monies!? taps head
I've learned a lot more over time, especially recently. I never had a eureka moment though. Everyone deserves to live in peace and with basic human rights. I'll always advocate for that. Specifically this conflict though is between a Democratic state who has done fucked up shit and a genocidal fundmentalist terrorist group. There is still a clearly much less bad side here.

I'm definitely skeptical of anything "moderate" that they claim to now operate on. Their actions, especially on October 7th illustrated what their actual ideology is. They even still have foreign workers who are entirely uninvolved hostage.
Have you looked into Solus at all? They are rolling and build with a focus on desktop usage.
Nextcloud should be good for that. There are a bunch of services which offer a few GB for free, which should be enough for your needs.
If you just want contacts, there are a bunch of free Nextcloud services.
They both have the same signing keys. The F-Droid repo uses the F-Droid signing keys unless the build is reproducible.
Uh, she told me that she and her family used Linux first...
I think that they are working to bring up all of it, but it is taking quite a while. The nearby share feature seems the be specifically for people who live in places with either poor internet or under oppressive regimes. With it, all you need is one person to get a copy of a communication app like Briar, and then they can immediately share it out to lots of people directly through F-Droid. F-Droid isn't there just to be a FOSS app store, but it also seems to specifically serve as a source of apps for people who can't get these apps safely. This also explains the high focus on legacy support.
