Syncthing does have an Android app, but I’ve never looked into doing anything syncthing-related on iOS because I simply don’t have any iOS devices :/

I’ve resorted to just syncing my fault folder using Syncthing externally, surprisingly convenient

If you wanna go nuts on the data, probably Obsidian.md with the built-in Daily Note plugin and the Dataview plugin, which allows you to do all kinds of crazy operations on the data in your vault as if it was a database.

If you wanna go less nuts, obsidian still has tagging, linking notes, daily notes, and all kinds of other stuff built-in and is extensible by things like the Calendar plugin from the community.

And everything is stored as plain Markdown with the occasional hint of JSON (for some plugins) so you’re not locked into using Obsidian until the end of time. Your data is yours.

(I realise this sounds like an ad but I’ve just been using Obsidian for years now and I enjoy it)

Codeberg, woo!

Bazzite is a Fedora Atomic-based operating system intended for Gaming, so you get a lot of the same benefits of that whilst still including all kinds of Gaming-Focused tweaks and patches out of the box. It is also immutable, e.g the system cannot be modified arbitrarily, whilst offering tools to still make modifications to the installed images if you want.

One thing that Steam/Valve has done with the Steam Deck is lock down the ISO by default, and provide no tools to modify your image persistently. That is of course on purpose, because that works for 99% of users, but the 1% of users may wanna use something where they can, for instance, overlay packages and keep them with updates, or apply extra gaming-focused tweaks that may be more of a hassle to maintain on SteamOS.

For instance, I use Fedora Silverblue daily on my Desktop, and even though it is immutable just like the Deck, it offers me tools to modify my image as I see fit and have the same modifications be applied to future updates too.

I don’t know if they’re all flatpak

They should be, the Steam Deck updates system components separately through steam.

As a diagnostic step, you might wanna run flatpak update in a new Konsole window to see if there are any errors that Discover might not be telling you about.
