You might want to consider using Docker. You can build an image on your normal machine, export it as a file onto a USB stick, and then transfer it to your air-gapped machine, import it there. Then running it is just docker run --rm my_image

You can do this for a whole bunch of programs in one image, or a separate image for each one.

It would gBoard’s autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I’ve now installed it with the glide extension and… it’s great! Thanks for the reference!

What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn’t? I’m also curious about neighbours, as I’m still using gBoard and I’d rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.

Desktop

• Arch Linux
• GNOME
• Firefox
• Tilix
• Thunderbird or Evolution
• Vim (I still use PyCharm for writing code)
• Joplin
• Bitwarden
• Python

Phone

• Joplin
• Firefox Focus & Firefox
• Bitwarden
• New Pipe
• Thunderbird (K-9 Mail)
• Signal
• Aegis
• Antenna Pod
• VLC
• The FOSSify suite (not the dialer)

Depending on your DE, you can have those no problem. You just symlink to the respective .desktop file for the program you want to run. So for example, if you wanna start Firefox from your desktop, you’d look for a file called Firefox.desktop on your system (probably living under /usr) and symlink to that from ~/Desktop.
