Thanks for the head’s up! I’ll take a look at IronFox and see if it fits my existing set-up (syncing from Linux/Windows PC to mobile). Again, thanks!
Just an ordinary myopic internet enjoyer.

Not who you’re asking, but I’ll answer nevertheless.
I’ve jumped from vanilla Firefox, to Librewolf, and now to Floorp. I’ve also played a bit with Zen. In all of them (except Zen, which I didn’t go to the process of connecting my Mozilla account), my Mozilla account connected and synced just fine.
I also no longer use vanilla Firefox mobile, but moved on to Mull. I am able to sync my stuff from Floorp to Mull and back without much trouble.
EDIT:
Thanks to a couple of people, I was informed that Mull is now unmaintained, and that IronFox took its mantle. I’ve switched to it just earlier now, and syncing works there too!
Using Arch with KDE Plasma too. My only problem with KDE Plasma is that I just can’t stop customizing it. I find a couple of things that “I can do something to improve upon” and the next thing I know I’m tweaking things again!
Other than the odd problem with Wayland/XWayland or something, that I usually just make a mental note to investigate further, I’m pretty happy. Now if I can only stop myself from “making just one more little change…”
Thanks! I’m glad to have inspired you.
While KDE Plasma offers a whole lot of options for customization, it’s really daunting especially if you’re just new to it. What really helped me is to just go with a little bit of customization and tweaking at a time. As I got more experience, I started to want more and more which lead to a lot more customization and tweaking.
I’m weaning myself away from it. However, it’s still unavoidable in my case because my work uses it. Thus, my work-related appointments and such are on there, which is one of the reasons why I had that widget in the first place (to monitor work-related appointments, deadlines, etc).
I’ve been working on it on and off since I’ve started using this system. It started with just the basics, tweaking the defaults, wanting more, and so on and so forth.
I usually can spend an entire (weekend’s) afternoon just tweaking things, making a change here and then, and observing if I like the changes I’ve made. Rinse and repeat that over a period of several months.
I actually am trying to get it hooked to my google calendar. That widget used to support that feature and have it work. However, recent changes have borked that functionality, and I can’t seem to find another widget that does the same.
Or I can just move away from google calendar.
Details:
The right screen has the following (KDE Plasma) widgets:
Both screens have side panels containing only a icon-only task manager. These side panels are installed on the outer edges of the screens instead of on the bottom as might be customary.
The top panels of both screens act as one whole top panel. However, both of them also have a collection of widgets (Window Buttons, Window Title, and Window AppMenu) that (should) only come into play if a window is maximized on a screen. That’s what is demonstrated in the first screenshot of the OP.
As for the theming, I used WhiteSur-dark as the global theme, with particulars overriden as follows:
As for the mouse gestures. I’ve got a mouse with additional buttons, so I used one of those extra buttons to indicate that I’m going to do a mouse gesture. Those mouse gestures are taken by KDE Plasma and act like a custom shortcut, which executes an action, which I defined via KDE Plasma.
The gestures are as follows:
Go to the previous Virtual Desktop: move right, move up
Go to the next Virtual Desktop: move left, move down
Move the active window to the previous screen: move right (a bit), move left
Move the active window to the next screen: move left (a bit), move right
Move the active window to the previous Virtual Desktop: move down (a bit), move up
Move the active window to the next Virtual Desktop: move up (a bit), move down
EDIT: Added theming details
Thanks for the head’s up. I’ve switched to IronFox just earlier.
Getting it into my phone wasn’t as straightforward as I expected. I first failed to find it on Fdroid. Then I tried toinstall it via Obtanium, but somehow failed. A bit of more research gave me Fdroid repository link that allowed me to finally install it. Everything after that is a breeze though.
Moving my collections from Mull to IronFox had to be be done manually though (or maybe I just didn’t find out a better way to do it), but it wasn’t at all painful.
