Arrange the M&Ms a little different and it's the infinity gauntlet

Maybe EndeavourOS (a convenient installer for Arch) with a desktop that supports Wayland.

I run that with Gnome in Wayland mode on my desktop and with Sway (Wayland equivalent of i3) on my laptop and I've been very happy with that. You could also run KDE if you prefer

It seems like "still" means whenever it's not tracking an exercise. But exercise includes walking more than a few minutes. It automatically records when I walk a lap around my office during break, so that's enough to trigger it

I use DNS66 downloaded from F-Droid. It registers itself as a VPN, but it's actually a DNS filter, not a VPN. It works to filter ads on most apps, and you can individually disable it for specific apps if needed.

I also use the Firefox app, which supports a few add-ons (much less than the desktop version), including uBlock and some similar options

I have the Galaxy Watch 4 and I like it. Here's a screenshot of the heart rate settings. On my current setting, it monitors continuously while exercising (including a long walk) and every 10mins while still.

It can also monitor blood oxygen continuously, but only during sleep (presumably to check for sleep apnea). While awake, you can take a manual blood oxygen measurement

I'm typing this on Pixel 4a 5G that I got shortly after its launch, and I'm still very happy with it. Can definitely recommend it, or any Pixel really - my family has used many Pixel models over the years
