No, Lomiri. It is a succesor of Unity

Ubuntu Touch uses Lomiri (a successor of Unity), not GNOME.

Correction, hi postmarketOS dev here, we are using whatever the user wants. We ship Phosh, GNOME Mobile, Plasman Mobile, SXMO, Lomiri. We don't have just one interface.

You don't have to configure KDE you know. You can just keep the defaults like you're probably doing with GNOME.

You're right, you can't run the Android (or iOS app) twice. If you want a second device running WhatsApp you'll need the web app.

I definitely hope so, so far it's looking promising!

I think installing all those dependencies by hand is not a good solution in the long run.

Well, no. "In the long run" this gets packaged by distributions so you don't have to compile anything. Right now it's available for Alpine Linux and there is an AUR package for Arch.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a flatpack container to be downloaded somewhere?

There is a Flatpak (no c in that name!) base app available, and Newpipe has been packaged with that as a Flatpak, see https://flathub.org/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe Ideally we get more stuff packaged up once more works but I don't think it's feasible to repackage everything out there so for a lot of applications you'll just have to have a locally installed ATL outside of Flatpak.

Since https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1gdhy7u/experimental_flathub_release_of_newpipe_on_linux/ got a bit of traction yesterday, this is WhatsApp straight from Meta running on Linux desktop using android-translation-layer.

android-translation-layer (ATL) is a Wine-like approach to run Android applications on Linux. Rather than running an Android container like for example Waydroid does this instead implements the Android API. Note that right now it's very much work in progress and almost no app will work yet, but the fact that they have apps like Newpipe and WhatsApp running already is very promising!

I agree with the sunscreen, although I wouldn't use it if I wasn't planning to stay out in the sun for long, but that's about it for an average person. Your body is supposed to hydrate itself, and getting dirt and grime off is the function of a shower. I'm sure not everybody's skin hydrates itself enough so they would probably need to use a moisturizer, sure, but that doesn't mean everybody should do it all the time.

Same for acne, that's a case where it makes sense to use some products because your skin is clearly failing to maintain itself, but again that doesn't mean you should do the same thing if you don't have such issues.

You were responding to a comment talking about Ubuntu Touch. You then talking about "we" without any explaining of who you meant made me assume you meant Ubuntu Touch users.
