Seems a lot of futo fans were advocating that it was “open-source” because the code is available while ignoring that an essential part of something being consider open-source is that the source is licensed openly as well as being viewable openly.
I’ve been using it for a while. It does most that gboard does, but the predictions aren’t as good of course.

Did your keyboard mapping get changed? Try running this to check the current locale:
localectl status
Other settings are generally dependent on the distro you’re using.
No, with home assistant they have a cloud server that has additional functionality that you can use or not. Home Assistant doesn’t restrict access to the software on device it’s running on.
With this, the device itself will not allow you to access its API endpoints without having a key that you need to purchase. And though they say it’s a one time purchase, who’s to stop them from releasing a critical security patch that invalidates the keys, even accidentally, or includes making the keys a monthly subscription going forward. Or what happens if that key gets exposed and you need them to generate a new one? Do you need to pay for that or is the device permanently compromised unless you build your own custom firmware?
You’re allowed to modify the firmware to use a self hosted server for that functionality without violating the license, which is better than nothing, but then it’s up to you to maintain your fork of the firmware. Why not just only require the key if you’re connecting to their server and allow you to select your own server without needing to modify and maintain a fork of the firmware?
