I run two multimonitor systems with different DPIs and 2.5gbe and they both run great. What issues are you hitting?

Because they only offer open source apps they build themselves

You can also use weechat as a bouncer, and it works even better with its own clients which can sync chat history rather than receiving it in a dump. The android client is fantastic in that respect.

The plugin ecosystem is also great. I have a plugin that pushes notifications for PMs and mentions to my gotify server, alerting me on my phone without having to drain its batteries staying connected.

I'm curious what about Graphene you think would prevent certain demographics from using it as a daily driver? There are pretty well no downsides to using it compared to a first party ROM aside from not having certain things like Google Assistant baked in. It has automatic updates, you get the play store and services if you want them, it even has android auto. It's also the most rock solid android experience I've had since I switched from iOS in 2012 or so.

Obviously a stereotypical grandparent would need someone who knows computers to do the initial install and setup, but after that it's pretty well just set and forget.

Signal started out as textsecure, an sms/mms app that encrypted your text messages. It quietly started sending messages over its server at one point after an update, but before that sms is what it was about.

Is it possible she has variable refresh/gsync/freesync support and that it's enabled? That turned out to be the cause of the flickering I was seeing.

Termux is awesome! I use it for a bunch of things:

  • sshing into servers and my home when I'm out and about
  • using croc to transfer files
  • making videos I'm going to send people smaller with ffmpeg
  • downloading stuff with yt-dlp
  • giving myself access to the sandbox + /sdcard from other computers by running an ssh server
  • scripting phone stuff (like taking photos) with the api
  • running weechat locally, which I can then connect to with weechat android
  • using vim
  • probably a bunch of other things I'm forgetting
