Title.
I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.
I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.
The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.
I've struggled with keyboards. Some to try out are OpenBoard, Heliboard, and Florisboard. All are on F-Droid.
But my favourite so far is FUTO Keyboard. Not without issues but I like it the best. It's not on F-Droid but you can use Obtanium to keep it up to date from the GitHub releases.
If you like weird shit, check out Thumb-key. It's on F-Droid and made by one of the Lemmy developers.
No multilingual typing with FUTO though right, or did I miss something?
@EddoWagt @Dave yea that's a deal breaker for me, I have to use multiple languages daily
