Yeah, that's really unfortunate to hear. Gladly I didn't had any build quality issues so I didn't even mentioned that side but you are right in that it's also a pretty important point. Back in the day micro-USB connectors wearing out was a big thing that apple products didn't suffered from but that's been solved with type-c. Other than that I've been pretty lucky with my phones not falling apart on me.
It's a difficult problem but not principly impossible. One potentially good thing about Meta being involved is that if the user base is there, I'm pretty sure Google with their resources and other big tech backing will find a way and incorporate it into their engine.
I kinda like Helix, I just don't really know what's the point of it. Some of the Kakoune bindings are marginally better than the vim default but any efficency I might get with it I instantly lose when trying to re-learn things or getting confused when I hop on a vim terminal on an other machine.
Kind of the same with the editor, it's like a 'batteries included vim' but I can just get that with a really light vim config and not mess up my workflow.
I guess it's might be cool if you are getting into it as your first modal editor but even then, if you want to use other stuff or need to use some different tools getting a vim extension will probably be easier than getting a Kakoune one.
I love Fedora but since they are no longer shipping the most popular media codecs on install I can't recommend them for beginners. I myself was a bit blindsided by this when wanted to start watching a movie with family and had to scramble to download the codecs 😅
Samsung A50, the cheapest smart phone I could find 5 years ago and it's still going strong. I really don't get the flagship phone craze. I, as I think most people, only use my phone to browse the web, check emails, sometimes watch a youtube video and well, phone people. This little guy has been perfect for that and has no sign of getting slower. The battery still easily gets me through a day with music listening (love the jack btw), web browsing and even some light GPS use.
Not gonna lie, I sometimes miss having a good camera with me, but after buying a half decent DSLR I'm still at or a bit below what a flagship costs nowadays.
When this phone dies a couple years from now I'll probably just get the new cheapest phone in Samsung's lineup lol.
