IMO, Pragtical is what Lite XL could be. I want my code editor to be fast and lightweight, but at the same time I don't want to lose some essential and quality-of-life features. For me, Pragtical answers that need. Lite XL could also do that, but their current development speed makes me wonder when they will catch up to Pragtical's features.

Sublime's minimalistic UI is really a vacation away from all the clutter in some mainstream editor like VSCode or Zed. And in my machine it launched really fast, faster than Zed which is promoted as a minimal code editor in its website and a little faster than Pragtical, my favorite code editor for the last year.

Kate is a good editor and it needs more publicity and more extensions. But, in my experience, as far as speed goes, it is slower than Sublime Text in my machine though still tolerable.

Correction for my previous comment, it is not Raspbian, but Armbian. The Armbian was not pre-installed from the factory, it was an Android TV Box that some tech-savvy guy in my country reinstalled. And in the end, I reinstall the Armbian in a micro-SD card, so the pre-installed OS was not used at all.

I have similar idea of using my old Xiaomi Mi A1 as a server, but I have never actually done it. The author's first idea and mine was similar, replacing Android with PostmarketOS. And here is the difference, I was not brave enough to actually install PostmarketOS to my phone. Especially after looking at the Postmarket Wiki where not all features for my phone are flagged as supported.

In the end, I abandoned the idea and opted on purchasing an Android TV Box that has been installed with Raspbian for my home server. Sure it may not be as powerful as my phone, but it came with full blown USB that I can use to add any storage I want and it was cheap (today, it was approximately USD 11-12).

KeepassDX has pretty good passkey support I think. At least, it works for me.

Pragtical v3.11.0 is out with code folding support, generated settings views, faster rendering paths for large files, and a set of MarkdownView and tokenizer improvements that make long documents smoother to work with.
