Eternity has notifications. It is free as in beer tho

You can theoretically run Linux programs (such as Steam) on the BSDs. And I am pretty sure that there are some open source games on BSD too. Only tried it a few times tho.

Edit: and there's a WINE version for FreeBSD aswell.

Localsend works really well for me

All right here is the link for the website with the deb.

I think I had problems with the Flatpak as well. I think they have a deb and a rpm package. Maybe try one of those. Or tell me the distro you use.

Edit: I think the snap also worked as expected

Onlyoffice seems to work for me. Which packaging format did you use? (I am using the binary from the AUR) Maybe using a different one solves your problem.

It could be a stupid way of achieving this, but I just disabled the preinstalled launcher and now it launches the F-launcher automatically since its the only app that works as a "home screen". I did this via ADB

And I thought that my school is weird. Well, maybe I should reconsider that

Could you please elaborate why Brave isn't open source? The source code is on github and there's even an Brave-Git package in the AUR.
