You will likely be asked to install extra security and monitoring software on your personal device to view work related info or check email.

You can set up another user on Android which will practically completely isolate this software from your main user. Since it's your phone and it gets installed by you it gets treated as any other user app and AFAIK cannot break the isolation between multiple users like system or organisation apps probably could do. You just saved yourself few hundred dollars.

The only disadvantage I could see is you not getting notifications from your work user applications when you are using the main user.

I was thinking about the problem. In GTK apps AFAIK you can hide all of the the window buttons. I know I can configure this in Gnome through apps like Refine and most apps follow the rule. What If you hid all of the window buttons and then force enabled SSDs? This could work well in DE's like KDE Plasma and it should look fine because you don't have window buttons duplicates anymore? The only thing that might remain inconsistent is the corner radius of the SSD with the corner radius of CSD at the bottom.

I don't mean to be mean but isn't the lawnchair team basically making a new launcher nearly from scratch (they of base it on the AOSP launcher AFAIK) with every Android release and then leave it in sort of unfinished state, because they started from scratch with the new AOSP launcher iteration yet again instead of finishing the previous project?

I am probably wrong but I feel like their launcher is constantly in alpha or beta stage.

I am not well informed, but I would expect that a lot of the tools that come with Android Studio can be installed as separate CLI utilities you can control from the command line, but maybe I am wrong. You will get worse IDE integration than with Android studio, that's for sure.

I just use the "Just perfection" extension to hide to top bar and only make it visible in overview. It may sound annoying to have to use overwiew each time you want to see or interact with the top bar, but honestly for me it's not that often to make that 1 or 2 extra keypresses annoying. When you get used to it it saves a lot of space.

I think Zorin OS 18 based on Ubuntu 24.04 was released just few days ago? will be released tomorrow. Also Zorin OS uses heavily modified Gnome Wayland session which is by many standards more "modern" and "leading edge" than X11 Cinnamon session. The desktop environment is by far the most significant thing an average Joe user will be affected by. If their packages are bit older they won't notice as much.

This. It doesn't make sense for the eye to be minimalistic and the hand to be very detailed. Either they are both detailed or both minimalistic.
