    After exploring all solutions, and fighting a few things to build either Hawck or Espanso on openSUSE (I’m not a dev), I finally managed to find instructions to get Espanso to build (it’s all there, fellow desperate random reader of the future). Since you can define the keyboard layout AND the variant of said keyboard you are using with Espanso, it’s working as expected.

    So now, I’ve associated “:$” with “|>”, not sure how well that’ll work in the future, but it’s far easier to type on my keyboard at least… Also, I gained a tool to insert greek symbols and smileys everywhere that I didn’t know I needed, but very quickly adopting! 😅

    Thanks all for your help!



















  • If you want to keep your history in Signal, you’ll need to backup your messages in a file, and restore your history on the new phone with the file (at least, it’s the easiest way I could find).

    I prefer the account-based philosophy of Matrix over the phone-number one of Signal, but you mileage may vary.

    Matrix (and Element, its mainly used client) is not without flaw of course, notably voice/video call works somewhat better in Signal in my experience.
