While the other responses so far have good info, none has offered a useful answer. Yes, apple collects data, but thankfully don’t sell it to the world. Buying a new phone isn’t a trivial expense so some of us are stuck for a bit. As a fellow IOS user (for now), I too would like to hear some more options.

The best I’ve found so far is Typewise. They claim to be private and secure but it’s closed source so so knows. Apple gets to review their code when submitting to the app store which says that Typewise collects some data but none of it is linked to the user. It’s freemium. Unfortunately, I don’t like their keyboard. Swipe typing is my personal requirement🙂

Has anyone here tried Kando yet? Looks like a very nice tool. How does it compare to typical keyboard shortcuts?

I got the same as @mintycactus@lemmy.world using Firefox Focus on IOS. Which I’m rather pleased by

Ooohhhh I like that idea for testing! Thanks for the tip and the recommendation!

Redhat :)

At least, that’s where most of my experience is. But now I’m working for a contracting company so I use whatever distros are made available by clients.

Thanks! Especially for the “You described EndeavourOS” comment. This helps me a lot. I’ll give it a close look!

Thanks! I’m aware of it and updated my post with a comment on it. I’ll add these to my short list!

Agreed for comments. I also use that all the time and I’m sure we aren’t the only ones. I was thinking of this for the post text only… But that makes for an inconsistent interface. Hmmm

As for the last bit, I’m quite certain that most of us just learn languages as needed. I certainly do 😂
