Serious question: I enabled a Plasma option to make windows transparent when I hover over their corresponding 'application rectangle' (sorry, not sure what to call it) in the panel. It drives me mad but I just can't figure ou

My dream for my fairphone 3 is to be able to dual boot Android and a non-google os. Why is this not a thing for any phone?
