Sway has become a joy to use over time as I’ve fucked with my config but now I feel like it’s more boring too I barely ever feel the need or want to massively change anything 🥲

No because I don’t have an account

Hehe

The thing is that Google accounts aren’t only used for mail though; reliable access to the Play Store through Aurora, as well as access to paid apps, needs a Google account for instance

Correct, idk my assumption has always been that they skip testing the site with Gecko out of laziness and so disable it entirely

“But nooo don’t pull out qBittorrent what are you doing it’s bad for the economy!!!1!!”

To still sorta replicate that, I just set up a script at /usr/local/bin/update for it:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sudo emaint sync -a &&
sudo emerge -utDU @world &&
sudo emerge -c;
flatpak --user update;
doom upgrade &&
doom sync &&
doom purge

LibreWolf: The Experience

Go with Neo Store rather than the F-Droid app; it has a better GUI, supports adding other FOSS app repos like IzzyOnDroid, and does a pretty good job keeping apps up to date actually
