This is for file sharing, while Syncthing is for file synchronization. While you could use Syncthing for file sharing as well (and I have used it for that before), it's definitely more complicated to use, and requires a bit more setup.

How about using M$ Edge on Linux? /s

Seriously though, one of my friends uses Edge on Windows, Linux, and Android. I still couldn't wrap my head around his decision.

Next time you want to sail the high seas with Minecraft, try HMCL. Should be less of a hassle.

Judging by the craiglist watermark on the bottom right, it's probably just a meme listing.

Just FYI, Arch Linux has a tool called Archiso that you can use to create live ISO image. You can copy the default releng config and edit the package list accordingly.

If you are on Plasma 6, it should be "System Settings" - Keyboard - Advanced, select "Configure keyboard options", and you'll find the "Caps Lock behavior" - maybe even two, but one of them have a lot of options as to what you want to do with your Caps Lock key.

Xournal++ supports other architectures. They might not have compiled binaries for other architectures ready to be downloaded on their GitHub release, but it's packaged on at least postmarketOS (i.e. Alpine Linux) edge (I have it on my "Chromebook") and Debian Stable.

I have a Samsung Chromebook that also has ARM SoC, 4 GB of soldered RAM and eMMC storage. I installed postmarketOS on it, with desktop KDE Plasma 6, and with 4 GB of ZRAM, it is definitely usable - I could run Xournal++ without much problem. It's not butter smooth, the scrolling can be stuttery, but it should be enough for light notetaking. Granted, my SoC is older and weaker (RK3399), so your mileage may vary.

Not Samsung, but I do have a Redmi 2 (also MSM8916) since I can get one for roughly $10.

On paper, the performance is closer to PinePhone (not Pro), and it would definitely be a lot less powerful than a PinePhone Pro running RK3399(S). They also typical has only 2 GB of RAM (some have even less), and that's definitely going to be noticable. It should be fine for light use and thinkering though.

Some Samsung phones might have networking issues, and some might not even be unlockable, but I'm not really sure about it either, so definitely check before buying.

Also, not all MSM8916 is built the same - some works better than the other. Devices from the community category should be somewhat usable, but be ware of those in the testing category, since they might have major functionalities missing (e.g. touch).

A64 (the SoC for PinePhone) is mostly intended for set-top boxes (i.e. smart TV), so it is really not designed for power efficiency.

It's really a bummer that most "smartphone" SoCs cannot easily be purchased, and have no proper documentations. Thinkers and smaller manufacturers are stuck with mostly Allwinner and Rockchip SoCs (most of which are engineered as embedded processors) if they want to design something from starch at all.
