I've looked it up and it's even uglier and I can kinda understand why they did it this way Basically, for their "integrations" they aren't using any official APIs. Instead they just use the websites and automate them via the Playwright framework. So for each user they have a VM running with a Chrome browser to access the services. So now they have the problem that they need to get their users session cookies into the browser. And the easiest solution for that is having the users access their VM via VNC and just log into the automated browser.
This is such a hacky solution that I'm actually in awe of it's shittiness. That's something you throw together in an all-nighter during a Hackathon, not a production ready solution

I can confirm that Hyprland also works from GDM

This might sound a bit heretical, but you could carefully pick and match a variety of software and configuration to your individual needs, turning your tiling wm into a fully functional desktop environment, or you could just install a tiling wm into an existing desktop environment and get something useful with like ten percent of the work.
I know that I have done the former multiple times, only to fall back to existing desktop environments again because it's just a lot less work and often works better, since you don't have to take care of getting things like screen sharing or media buttons to function.
Especially LXQt and Xfce make it very easy to run a tiling window manager, but you can also find extensions/plugins for KDE or Gnome to make them tile. I'm personally running Gnome with the Pop Shell extension right now

It gets even worse when a number of anime aren't even licensed for your country so you can only stream them via VPN. Looking at you Crunchyroll

If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one...

Yeah, I'm still stuck on Google Keep, since it's the only one that's integrated with the (even worse) Google home

Yeah, if the attacker is in a position to do a MitM attack you have much larger problems than a ssh vulnerability that so far can at most downgrade the encryption of your connection in nearly all cases

You could get an android tablet that can run LineageOS and install that on there without GApps/microg, so without any Google services. That way you can have a Google free tablet that's also properly optimized for a touch workflow.
If you still want a tablet with a proper GNU/Linux distro you basically have two choices I know of right now: One is the Pinetab 2, it's not too expensive, but the hardware is a bit limited, both in terms of processing power and display. Software support can also be spotty.
The other would be buying a x86 tablet and installing a regular Linux distro on there. I personally had some luck with the Microsoft Surface tablets, but you can get cheaper ones too. Just check on whether Linux will properly run on it beforehand, especially the cheaper Chinese ones based on Atoms often have driver issues or don't even boot Linux at all (my biggest enemy on cheap devices: 32bit UEFI with 64bit OS. It's nearly impossible to boot Linux on those). There's also the Librem 11 but in my opinion it's overpriced for the hardware

The best way I have found is through MyAnonamouse, it's a private tracker though, so you will have to go through their application process

And for the love of god don't go for latest, just stick to the release tags

Might want to rethink the name Redox OS already exists and is a pretty active project to create a modern OS in Rust
