Exactly what should have been done 20 years ago. Instead, they've built tons of bikes in the form of containers, flatpacks, snappers, and other nonsense - just so they don't have to throw out a 60's piece coprolite called FHS.

The list of changes is too extensive to summarize here.
Today you need to be independent. I hope other projects will follow suit. P.S. GitHub has announced a limit of 100,000 repositories per user or organization account. The limit will take effect on April 28.
independent browsers that exist due to agreements with search engines.
How independent are you if you take money from Google? Don't take money from Google and then maybe you'll become independent. But now you're looking at a kind of second-fresh independence. Maybe if it becomes the first, you will start attracting users instead of only repelling them and slamming doors. Because you got hooked on the needle of Google money and eventually lost all your users.
They fired a bunch of programmers. I sincerely wish them to go bankrupt and go to McDuck as waiters for 1.5 dollars an hour.

Ubuntu – few applications, unstable: over time, some problems with the volume were, cured only reboot; there is no normal application Telegram (web client that the battery eats).
CalyxOS is subjectively more convenient, F-Droid and RuStore download by machine, F-Droid installs an update machine, RuStore downloads and asks for /e/OS RuStore to download forcibly. Also on both MicroG systems, but on /e/OS, SBPay bent and didn't work, on CalyxOS - no problem. Similar to applications, for example, for renting scooters: on /e/OS some problems, on CalyxOS - no problems. There are fewer problems with CalyxOS.
