I get way more spam on WhatsApp than on Matrix. Never been invited to a fake group chat on Matrix at least...
Quite good I'd say. I don't have other high end laptops for comparison though
Is the framework 13 really worth my money for the repairability and upgradability in comparison?
Depends on what you upgrade for, and what you need in the first place.
If you upgrade mainly for more CPU and GPU power, in my opinion that's a hard sell. The new mainboards from Framework are hella expensive!
If you need a dGPU in a small form factor laptop, Framework just doesn't offer that. Same for touch or built-in tablet support.
If you're ok with the built-in GPU and upgrade for better display, for better battery, and a better but perhaps not the absolute latest and best APU, yes, it's worth it.
When I bought the FW13, a year later or so they brought out a new 120Hz higher resolution display. The first display being 60Hz was my only big annoyance with it, having a 120Hz monitor for comparison... So I just bought the new display, and swapping it only took literal 5 minutes.
Similar story with the hinges, I wanted ones with more resistance, so I just bought stronger ones for 25€ and easily replaced them.
If the battery gets worse, or they bring out a new one with decently improved capacity, I can similarly replace it in 5 minutes.
No glue, no 10 types of special screws, just the screw driver that was shipped with the laptop, and basically zero risk of breaking anything when making modifications.
You'll have to know yourself if these tradeoffs are worth it to you... but after my old HP Envy's display broke and even finding the correct replacement part was a challenge, let alone replacing it, I'm quite happy with the FW13.
Then when a game is started it starts another Gamescope session which launches the game in a second XWayland session.
No, it doesn't start another gamescope. It starts a second Xwayland in the same gamescope instance.
This is still WIP, but will definitely get an option before it's enabled by default. I too much prefer apps just following my configured placement policy.
It's an issue from a change made a year ago, which you were just unlucky to hit (and indeed mostly hits Arch, because of live updates).
It's been fixed in 6.4.1, won't happen again.
The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea.
That's definitely not something Plasma is doing... Sounds like your monitor is dumb with "adaptive contrast" or just terribly implemented local dimming.
The screencast portal has been around for 7 years. How is it not enough? It is very much GPU-only (if the receiving program supports it, which nearly all do), and encoding the image is up to the app and does not depend on the API.
It was just moved into a separate repository, nothing's changed about it
A lot of things would be technically possible, but pulling that off in practice is quite challenging. Synchronizing the clipboard with one Xwayland instance is hard enough...
That's not to say it will never be done, but it won't happen anytime soon.

Ddc/ci brightness changes are very often animated by the display firmware, so doing it fast is rarely possible.
You can however disable ddc/ci in the display settings if you'd rather have software brightness.
