That's not what happened. There are still Russian contributors. Just the onces that have in some way (maybe indirectly) ties with the Russian government have been removed.

Why not use Android in the first place then? I mean, it works fine on pretty much any device.

If you use swap (excluding hibernation) it means you need more ram.

The kernel used by Android is Linux, just like the kernel used by PiOS.

Great! Used Arch for a while, with KDE. I'm now using Debian with Gnome permanently.

I'm not familiar with Blend OS, but if your goal is being able to run Android apps you can also install Waydroid yourself in multiple distro's. I'm running Debian with Gnome on my Surface Go 2 using the Surface kernel and Waydroid with Gapps. It runs really well.

I'm using Debian 12 with Gnome on my Surface Go 2, and while the multitouch gestures are great, when I use them I also click on anything where I start a 3 finger gesture. I like my panel hidden except in the Dash overview, but I disabled this so I don't have to use gestures. When I do use them I have to use them on an empty part of the screen to prevent clicking anything.

Is there any setting I can change to prevent left clicks when using 3 finger gestures?

So what's the known issue?

That's bullshit, it's still free for the normal lts support. Only if you want support after that you'll have to pay, or upgrade to the next version for free.

Same, many elements are blurry when I use scaling in Arch with KDE.

I didn't say I couldn't fix the issues, but the fact that some of those issues exist even since XP is pretty bad. Just search around online and you'll find many posts about these driver issues. And then there's all of the ui inconsistencies and issues. Most of those are small, but still annoying once you see them. Especially when using Windows on a tablet, even Microsoft's own Surface line.

For HP ZBooks for example there was an issue that completely prevented you from installing some updates like Windows 10 20H2 without any warning as to why it wouldn't install. It just failed at 61%. It turned out to be audio drivers for the audio chip in the dock. The only way to get it updated was to connect the dock, finding the audio device in device management and removing it. Then disconnect before Windows reinstalls the driver again.

This has happened for multiple versions.

Try Windows. It regularly breaks drivers (not only WiFi) on some hardware (mostly HP). I've never had issues with WiFi on Linux on HP, Dell, Microsoft Surface and even a Macbook.

Exactly, most, if not all, os's do this.
