just press the system button plus the assigned letter and I'm in the app I want.
Oh, that would be excellent. You could even set them to be the same on desktop for equivalent applications.
I think one of the Linux phones has a physical keyboard. That'll likely be my choice if I can afford it when my current one stops being viable.
There are only 2 software keyboards I've found where I didn't have to look at the screen as I typed. 8-Pen which took forever to type anything on and Minuum which hasn't updated in years, but you can pry from my cold dead hands.
I never used a BlackBerry, but I miss the slide out keyboard my first couple smartphones had.
I worked with a Zebulon (of course, we called him "Zeb") a couple years ago. He's in maybe his mid 20s now.
And he's incapable of creating anything. And he has zero charisma.
What's BST?
That sounds like a tank with extra steps.
Good news! The fediverse isn't limited to SoCal!
Minetest is a good suggestion, but it's worth noting that the base application won't have anything playable on install. A few of the games made with it attempt to recreate Minecraft, but it's not limited to that.
Also, while the core team has announced the name change, it's still listed as Minetest on both the play store and F-Droid.
Pretty sure one of the devs is still in high school.
The question is about purchases.
You may want to try Arch in a vm before daily driving it. It's an excellent distro, but vanilla Arch is a far cry from SteamOS.
I switched to Chrome probably a decade ago, because at the time it was significantly faster. I switched to chromium at some point and ended up back on Firefox when Google's password manager stopped working on every browser except Chrome. Firefox is noticeably faster these days and doesn't crash as often.
