The vast majority of micro USB cables are A to B cables, but USB A to micro USB B. Maybe if they had been introduced now when super thin laptops are a thing they micro USB A might have become more popular. Or more likely, the problem with the A/B distinction would have become more obvious sooner
Micro USB also has an A and B connector
The name is really just branding - Chromecast, Google Cast and Google TV have all been used for radically different Cast Receiver products. The important part though is that my device doesn’t have Android TV installed on it; it doesn’t have Apps and I can’t install VLC on it.
(If you meant VLC was on the mobile device, I believe this is a separate system where you stream from the mobile device to the Cast Receiver thingy. The big value of Chromecast (the standard) is that the mobile device doesn’t do any real work, just tells the Cast Receiver where to look for the stream. If I misunderstand the situation let me know, I’m eternally hopeful)
Yeah, I’ve got an actual Chromecast, not a Google TV, so I can’t install anything on it. I have enough computers around that buying anything new would be redundant, but nothing works quite like a Chromecast.
The only reason I’m on a Google rom is because I can’t get confirmation that I can cast Netflix to a Chromecast with microG. It’s the only Google ecosystem thing that matters to me. If they try to break my phone then I finally get to get over that hump, no loss. Almost everything in my phone is F-Droid (“side-loaded” is such a loaded phrase)
I’m also hopeful that this move will get struck down given the recent anti competitive practices cases they’ve lost.

It’s an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.
On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can’t turn off screen lock!), but I haven’t tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.
I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.
This has been happening to me in embeds for ages, and I am logged in. It doesn’t even give any option to sign in or watch on YouTube, I just don’t get to watch embeds anymore.
I’ve been an Arch user for more than a decade and I’ll usually be first in line to defend it from dodgy claims about unreliability.
But that forum response is bizarre. Literally the last two RSS items right now are about how splitting packages will require intervention for some users (plasma and Linux firmware). VLC is an officially supported package, and surely this change would impact almost every VLC user?
New opt-depends is a nice pacman feature, but it hardly implies that things have been removed from the base package.
You can do this on Arch too and it will work great until it doesn’t. Manual interventions are rare and usually don’t affect everyone.

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features
In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.
Even Arch has an interactive installer now, and Endeavour is meant to be Arch with a bulletproof installer as well.
For dual booting I strongly recommend having Windows and Linux on separate drives altogether.
Conversations.im
Has an onboarding wizard, includes text, voice and video calling, OMEMO encryption, group chats etc.
But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn’t they work for you?
