The Zenfone 9 is amazing. I've had one for around a year. It's slightly smaller than the Pixel 5 and has absolutely amazing battery life. Mostly stock android with a lot of little QOL improvements sprinkled all around the system.

I started using Arch a few months ago. Before I would always go for Ubuntu or Fedora, then saw a video of a guy on YouTube installing Arch using archinstall and setting up his HyprLand setup. It was super thorough so I gave it a shot, and came to the conclusion that even though distros like Ubuntu and Fedora are easier to install and get going, once you get to a program or utility that doesn't have a maintained package for your distro, you're no better off than anyone else, maybe even worse off as you'll probably be using an old guide or trying to follow some post that isn't 100% relevant to their case. The AUR is incredible and there's something truly awesome about installing that fresh git version with no fuss.

Same! I overuse Syncthing lol. I've got my photos syncing plus going bidirectional with my screenshots and documents directory and it's so convenient and streamlined. I've got a 1TB in my laptop so it hasn't been an issue and it's nice to know between 2 devices with photos saved offline and Google Photos I'm not sweating.

Yeah I'm in the same boat as you I can't really find much information about it other than the Google IO announcement. I pre-ordered the 3 pack and as long as it can ping off of Android I can't imagine it's going to be bad.
