I'm with you on the sunsetting of ChromeOS, but I'd like to offer a counterpoint to your experience of the Duet. I've been using the newer Lenovo Duet 5 with PostmarketOS[0] (linux for ARM) as a daily driver for more than a year and it is almost always great (minus no functioning webcam, which is abysmal anyways)!

Did you consider using sway[1] as your window manager? From what I understand wayland is better equipped to deal with modern displays and touchscreens. (although it is still more complex to do certain tasks like screensharing).

Don't XMPP and Matrix somewhat overlap it functionality. What was the thought process behind implementing both?

Do you have your passwords in plain text in your home folder? It seems like Pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) would solve this problem in a more secure fashion.
