For 2. That's funny, for me mac screens look like a blurry mess while Linux are the sharpest thing around with infinality patches.

For 4. There is kde connect (you don't need to run kde to have it). Works only with android though afaik.

Also messages.google.com with Android. But with the obvious caveat that you're giving extra data to Google.

Are infinality patches still being updated?

Those were about the only reason I could tolerate a standard Centos or RHEL desktop, but I'd heard the maintainer 'disappeared' and nobody has picked them back up.
