2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/
I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network.

Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands
I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app

https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing.

Osmapp – A Universal OpenStreetMap App
Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well.

... right now your bookmarks aren't synchronised anywhere so if you lose your phone all your bookmarks are gone.
When that's working I'll change over in a second!

Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?
Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data.

Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs.

F-Droid, Keyboard Libraries, and Choosing a Browser
I didn't last long with the stock keyboard before installing AnySoftKeyboard which is one of the few FOSS alternative with support for swipe typing. The experience was... OK. It felt slow and it's accuracy left a lot to be desired. I still had to be slow and pretty accurate, so it didn't really feel like much of a change from the stock experience. FlorisBoard have also introduced their own implementation but the feedback I read suggested it would be much the same as my experience with AnySoftKeyboard's gesture typing.

CleverType: Unlock the power of AI with Grammarly, Wordtune and ChatGpt on your keyboard.
I am excited to see how this project will develop. I'm sure starting out with https://florisboard.org/ was extremely helpful. Other devs have started from scratch, but florisboard is already advanced and feature rich. You could keep it open source to alleviate concerns of privacy. Just an idea.

Android keyboard recommendations ?
The Github code repository (https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard) had an update on February 24, so the app is not abandoned. It reads like they plan a massive update for the next version, and word suggestions will be available.

Keyboard for Android
I tested two: AnySoftKeyboard, it's stable and works even on very old devices, but it lacks modern features and the settings are really ugly and confusing (but once you look at all of them, you'll be able to make the keyboard the way you like it, is very customizable). And I also tested FlorisBoard, it's modern, beautiful, but it's a work in progress currently in early-beta stage and it has many incomplete or buggy features. So I ended up with AnySoftKeyboard. I know there are others, but it was these two projects that caught my attention the most.

Custom keyboard extension
Probably only via AOSP mirror. It's an AOSP component so not officially available as its own component. Check out https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard for a GitHub based OSS keyboard.

Microsoft brings its Bing chatbot to your fingertips with SwiftKey on Android - The Verge
FlorisBoard (perhaps): This one is the dark horse for me. It's layout etc can be all customized to my liking and it's FOSS. But it doesn't have a suggestion provider API etc none of that yet (WIP) so, as it stands now it's "just" a highly customizable FOSS "keyboard" app, and nothing more. I have high hopes for it though.
What are some alternatives?
OsmAnd - OsmAnd
OpenBoard - 100% foss keyboard based on AOSP, with no dependency on Google binaries, that respects your privacy.
