termux-app
Termux - a terminal emulator application for Android OS extendible by variety of packages.
Termux is still around and mostly works the same:
https://github.com/termux/termux-app
You just have to install it directly from the APK or via f-Droid.
I use it on Android 13 for simple mobile development and it works great.
For me, Termux is a killer app that makes my Android phone a general purpose pocket computer.

There are distros/DeS that get within spitting shooting distance of the Windows experience but don’t quite achieve it. The devil is in the details.
There’s nothing that replicates macOS unfortunately. Many point to GNOME, but it’s much more like iPadOS than macOS, or to elementaryOS but it only shares some aesthetics with core features like the global menubar or super-based (as opposed to control-based) key shortcuts being entirely absent. For the latter there’s hacks like Kinto[0] but this is the sort of thing that really needs to be part of the DE.

AreWeAntiCheatYet
A comprehensive and crowd-sourced list of games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine.
I'm explicitly referring to Proton, a Wine and DXVK project from Valve that now means that many games now work on Linux [0][1].
KDE has had a similar level of investment and polish and I believe has now crossed a threshold where it is comparable in usability and smoothness to Windows or Mac. It now uses Wayland which means that it solves a lot of the janky issues inherent to X. KDE is not new, but it is much better to the point where I feel unless you've used it in the last 2 years you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate.
I think the article linked and my original comment both take issue with the number of negative comments here. People like yourself seem to be taking them as a general barometer at best or at worst a complete indictment, when many of them see to be citing issue that haven't been seen for years.
Specifically, my OP was complaining about how people are so free to spin off these lists of issues without any qualifying context which I believe leads to this misleading representation of the current state of things.
