Lunar Launcher has a decent set of features but is still lightweight. It's only 2.5MB.
@[email protected] The other person mentioned virt-manager, but there's a much more easier app: Gnome Boxes. It uses the same backend (libvirt/KVM) but it's much more easier to use - in fact, I'd say that it's even more easier to use than VirtualBox. For starters, Boxes automatically detects OS ISOs on your drive and allows you to just click on them directly to install it - or you can even choose to download and install a distro directly from within Boxes. Also, when you consider the post-setup phase: there's no need to install any guest modules/drivers because it's already built-into Linux distros.

Thankfully it's pretty easy installing desktop Linux on Android - plenty of script and apps out there that automate the whole process.
I use Termux_XFCE and it works really well on my Samsung device.
same build process and code base.
It's not the same code base though. They're all different branches, and also differ in code (although not by much, but it still requires manual maintenance of each branch). I haven't seen the actual build process but it's likely to be completely separate CI/CD pipelines, so I wouldn't claim it to be the "same" build process either. Also, Focus uses a completely different UI with a different/cut-down set of features.
Naturally I'm not saying that maintaining these branches amounts to the same level of effort as maintaining the iOS WebKit and Gecko branches, but it's not some non-trivial effort either.
There's also Firefox Beta, Nightly and Focus.
Nice writeup!
Only thing is:
If you decided to do that, you have to reboot each time you install something, which obviously sucks!
You don't have to reboot if you use the --apply-live switch, but of course, you'd still need to reboot for something like a kernel update. And of course, I wouldn't recommend layering packages either, unless there's no other alternative.
There is a browser extension called "Netflix 1080p", but in my experience the quality isn't the same as Netflix's native 1080p - the quality with the extension is visibly lower (but still better than 720p). And of course, it can't do 4K at all. It also occasionally breaks, which is annoying.
If you really want to play streaming services at full quality, it's better to just get a streaming stick like a Fire TV Stick, or a Roku or similar.
have installed F-Droid
You should check out Droid-ify! It's a much more friendlier alternative to F-Droid, and also has more applications by default (gets some apps directly from Github).
Some of my favorite apps:
- mpv (Lightweight media player, better than VLC)
- NewPipe (ad-free YouTube / Peertube client)
- Open Camera (Camera app)
- SD Maid SE (Junk file/cache cleaner)
- Unexpected Keyboard
- WiFiAnalyzer (WiFi scanner, troubleshooter)
Nothing usable yet unfortunately, but they seem to be making good progress: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
Just so you're aware, Gitea was taken over by a for-profit company. Which is why it was forked and Forgejo was formed. If you don't use Github as a matter of principle, then you should switch to Forgejo instead.
Not OP, but Wayfire has all the old-school effects plus some new ones too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2MR7Qh9ECE
