I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.
Ladybird is still very early in development and is not even targeting an alpha release until 2026. There are no binaries currently available, so the only way to even test what currently exists is to compile the source code. I am excited to see a new competitor, but I also do not have high hopes given how difficult it is to meet all of the web standards. Given the increasing number of websites that have problems or limitations with Firefox, I do not foresee Ladybird ever getting to the point where it could be reliably used by average people. I would love to eventually be proven wrong about this though.
Servo also has nothing to do with Mozilla anymore. It has been a part of the Linux Foundation since Mozilla laid off all of the developers in 2020.
Ente is also able to be self-hosted.
Intel is ruining Intel.
The upgrade process on Kinoite (KDE Atomic) was extremely fast and smooth. Fedora has always been among the most reliable when it comes to upgrades in my experience.
Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.
Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.
But T-Mobile is still offering the service, so it is not the lifetime of that either.
A GitHub issue was opened for Syncthing-Fork, so it will be worth watching that to know whether it will continue to be supported.
That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

Can I store a passkey in a platform agnostic way?
Yes, if you use a platform agnostic password manager that supports passkeys such as Bitwarden.
Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.
I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.
Thank you. I am not sure how that only ended up on that link.

This does not apply to the server. Only the client app is open source. The server is proprietary.
They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.
