Hyprland is my favorite tilling manager for Wayland. Its really easy to customize or find dotfiles. I have some if you want them.
If you want something that just works, popos-shell gnome plugin

I see fdroid update (1.1.4) from 4 days ago and github (1.1.6) yesterday.
To keep it updated I recommend Obtainium ( https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium) if you don’t want to use fdroid.
I switched to Kvaesitso (https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso) and Lawnchair (https://lawnchair.app/downloads/).
Not quite the same customization, but worth it. Kvaesitso is my primary and I love it.
If you use a VPN it can also mask it too. That’s how I used to get around it before moving to Google Fi.
I use both. I have a self hosted docker compose instance of mailcow, which alerts me when an update is available.
I also use protonmail as well.
Self hosting was a pain in the ass to get working, but I’ve had no issues with it once up. I tossed it behind a reverse proxy to keep it from directly touching the internet.
Fedoras flavor with KDE. Fedora never caused an issue for me.
Sway or GNOME (Wayland) with Pop shell extension.
I use Qwant and find it gives me better results than Google most of the time. It claims to be private and such, so I’m happy with it.
My wife and I use the ZSA moonlander when we’re not gaming. When we game we switch to regualr 60%s. I also have a custom built split keyboard that I don’t really use.
For me, it saved my wrists. My wrist and forearms used to go numb after extended coding sessions while using a regular 60%. I no longer have that issue using a split.
I do recommend researching switches, as I found that using Gateron Red Inks, 45g actuation force, also added to relieving stress on my wrists. I lubed and filmed them too, which is overboard for most.
I also recommend trying different key layouts, I use Colemak DH, but Workman and regular Colemak are also good. They lower the finger movement needed to press the most used letters in English. Layouts can be changed on the hardware level on the Moonlander, allowing it to just work on any device.

I’m currently running the Pixel 6 Pro with Graphine OS.
Worst thing about this phone is the curved display. Everything else is good enough for me, which is saying a lot. I’ve had many phones over years and only a few have really been awesome.
In no particular order:
Edit: format and a device
15 years Windows -> dualboot everything -> Ubuntu -> Fedora -> Ubuntu -> opensuse -> arch -> popOS -> arch -> fedora -> arch -> -> popOS -> arch -> nixos
I’m sure there’s a ton more hopping around in the middle that I can’t remember, but this is a good summary.
