I think it’s maybe to add a security layer in the case of crashes but I don’t really know. Simple apps were good since they had the same UI and the transation felt good.

Dialer apps are a mess, waiting for Fossify also here

Archlinux has the best wiki and community for every type of issue.

Steam Decks?

Divide et impera

I also was an user but Aves Libre is a very good replace if you don’t mind the video editing aspect. But yeah, that app also probably deserve a good fork.

There’re good alternatives for every app, the only real lost are contacts and dialer, imo.
