Thank you very much! I thought I will get notified when somebody comments on a comment I have commented on. Apparently that's not how it works.

These are some of my essential Android apps. It's a lot, but I couldn't decide which ones are less essential, sorry. All of them are FOSS and can be found on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid (F-Droid compatible) repos
- Neo Store is my favorite F-Droid client (F-Droid is essential, but the official app sucks IMO)
- Aegis is a great 2FA authentication app
- AirGuard if you think you might be a victim of AirTag stalking
- AShell (requires Shizuku) for ADB access without computer (you need to be on wifi tho)
- CloudStream when you are too broke to afford 10 subscription-based streaming services
- echo unmaintained but I was unable to find any alternative. It records in the background and keeps the last N minutes in memory. You can save last X minutes as mp3 whenever you want.
- feeder is a great RSS reader
- Inner Tune best YT Music client on F-Droid IMO (I tested all of them I could find few weeks ago)
- KDE Connect - connects you Android phone with your PC
- KryptEY might be useful if EU bans encryption
- libretorrent best torrent app on Android I have used
- Translate You translator app supporting many sources
- unexpected keyboard is my favorite for writing terminal commands in Termux or programming
- Voice is the must have for localy downloaded audiobooks
- YTDLnis is very cool yt-dlp GUI full of features + can be set as downloader app in ReVanced settings
- and the best of all: Termux - Linux terminal on your Android
- bonus: zotify (website) is the only Spotify downloader I know about that actually downloads from Spotify (!). It's a command line app. It can be pretty easily installed in Termux though and usage is not very difficult if you are familiar with the command line. Please read the README. I personally love it.
Reinstall my Arch Linux (EndeavourOS actually) system.
Why do you prefer mercurial over git?
What do you find complicated? I'm happy to help you with it. It also seemed complicated to me, but once I understood it it was pretty simple to use (unless you wanna do advanced stuff.)
I'm extremely happy with chezmoi. It's very simple to use, but when you need more advanced features, it has them. It can do templates, ignoring and other stuff allowing you to easily manage dotfiles on multiple machines or even multiple operating systems (like windows on PC, Linux on laptop). Here is a comparison table of some dotfiles manager (it's on chezmoi's website, so it may be biased) Also here are my dotfiles (as a Linux user, I cannot resist the urge to share my dotfiles whenever I have the opportunity)
I've seen people with macbooks doing 3D models for living with trackpads.
I sometimes use mapy.cz. It's Czech and proprietary, but works great, has good English interface, no ads, no account requirement (it tries to convince you to make an account, but I've been using it without acc for years), great navigation and route planning and sources data from OSM. It's proprietary, but I like how they contribute a lot to OSM.
So basically this? It's absolutely amazing. Just be warned that it replaces ctrl+R AND up arrow shortcuts by default. You can easily disable the up arrow though.
https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/com.amnesica.kryptey/ This looks like a good backup plan that can't be banned very well.
If you don't have Spotify subscription, it downloads the songs in spotify's default quality for free accounts. I don't think it works for other music streaming platforms. Also I'm pretty sure it's against the TOS even with paid account. I didn't get banned yet tho.
