Why do you think so? My wireless Samsung Buds are about 2 years old and they are working great, as if new. Meanwhile when I had various wired headphones before that, 2 years was about their top life, mostly because of the cable getting damaged, which you can't replace anyway. So the argument of battery not being replaceable is totally irrelevant for me, and I think for most other people as well.

You might have some luck with a controller, using only a half of it, and re-mapping all controls there. Steam Controller might be great since it has touchpads. That might make some mouse-requiring games playable.

Using only keyboard, damn that's difficult to find something, haha. I think these might work, just going by my memory: FTL, Toki Tori, Undertale, VVVVVV, Braid, Dome Keeper. Basically that kind of simple 2D games. Then almost any racing game.

You could also try some eye tracking solution, can't help with that though.

Well, it depends what you imagine "general purpose computing" is. Android OS is primarily targeted at phones, with specific set of requirements, so I don't think it can ever match desktop OSes, without major sacrifices from the both worlds.

What exactly is getting bastardized? Phones never had 2 USB ports. And there are still new phones with headphone jack (Zenphone 10 comes to my mind). Yes, many brands dropped it, but it's not a conspiracy (or at lest doesn't have to be), it's just basic economics.

I can't relate at all. My phone is a PHONE, with options of short-term entertainment. I have other devices for other "computery" activities. I personally almost never use even my single USB-C port, thanks to wireless charging and wireless headphones. Sounds like your phone is your main device.

Paper uses pigments, it just reflects the ambient light. Screens however actively emit light.

Let's compare screens to sky. What is easier for your eyes, to stare at a flying airplane during daylight, or to watch stars at night?

This is one of the rare instances when I'm glad I have Samsung with their custom UI. I have to sometimes use a Pixel phone, and those new Android 12 settings tiles overall are just mind-boggling. It feels like a change just for the sake of change, ordered by marketing department or something.

Sounds neat. But what all the services that require proprietary app? Like banking, Uber, reviews on Google Maps etc.?

Doma to je snesitelne i bez klimy. Shodim ze sebe vetsinu obleceni, podle toho kdo je doma, a pustim na sebe vetrak. Tak je v poho i soucasnych 30 co mam doma. Problem nastava, az kdyz musim delat neco, u ceho nejde sedet, nedej boze varit.

Uhm, it kinda does? On the Home page you have Daily mixes, which are pretty well grouped, and some other playlists. Although those seem to be based on your history rather than liked songs, which I personally prefer anyway.

This is such a stupid minor thing, but it's what made me switch from Ubuntu to Fedora, haha.
