Even with all of the new apps there is no replacement for brilliant adaptation apps like heysms which bridge SMS functionality to your laptop over wifi via rendezvous protocol with Gaim chat.
I cant really find any Gaim/Pidgin like chat apps for Android.
That is the least of my complaints on not having an x11/gnu experience with even FOSS OS suffering from blob bin drivers Android/LineageOS for microG.
At least we also have real .conf files, who knows how to hack the config on so many apps even if they are foss form the fdroid repos.
