I always just say "Linux", because even though I run Gnu software, you can run Linux without GNU (Alpine and Android).

The error should be fixed now, I realized it while I was at lunch but couldn't do much to stop it from my flip phone.
True, I only really use my graphical browser for the blog & Fediverse. I do most of my research on Lynx.
I would agree that it is the incorrect way to install most software, but suckless software is different. In order to changes, even simple ones like changing the font or colors, you need to rebuild from source manually.
I would go with Fedora. For most desktop needs Debian can be a little out of date, and I don't think you want to go through all of the hard work of converting to sid. Linux mint is also just Ubuntu with a green coat of paint and snaps removed. Fedora is easy to set up, stable, and has all of the newer software. Fedora, being backed by RedHat has a lot of support and all bugs are fixed within a timely manner. I would highly recommend it.
Yeah, I tried that, but my brain seems more like a Fish than an Ape. It didn't really work. While the lack of security based applications may seem like an issue, I am able to use all of my encrypted messaging services on my Laptop & Desktop, so I don't really feel like I'm missing anything.
It's a mix of many different things. I do like the form factor, but the main appeal for me is that I can use it as just a phone, and nothing more. With a Smartphone I will be tempted to browse social media & play games, but I found that with my Flip Phone I am much more focused and don't waste as much time.
Here is the guide I used. It does require you to get temporary root and work with the command line a little bit, but it is not super hard.

I agree. If you are looking for a "Linux phone", the Pinephone or a regular phone with Ubuntu Touch are great. KaiOS's only real use is filling the niche of people like me who would prefer to have a flip phone. I don't know if you've tried a Android flip phone in a while, but they are utter shit. KaiOS makes the experience a lot better.
But yeah, I really think that Mozilla should have used GPL. I'm not a big fan of the MPL.
True, Arch is a lot more stable than many people give it credit for. In my long time using Arch, I've only ever had dependency problems once. And Ubuntu, especially nowadays, is not the best when it comes to stability. However, I would argue that RHEL/RockyLinux or Debian are generally more stable than Arch.
Sort of. Firefox OS was an old project made for flip phones, that is currently alive in the form of KaiOs.
