LibreOffice Draw worked well enough for me. It can even open Visio documents. It doesn't save to Visio though, so I had to give up on it eventually as the company mandated Visio documents, even though they just end up being inserted into other documents as PNG.

But the drawing part was solid for me.

    Yeah, this is a tricky one. I was in the same situation. I set up an Android VM with just Whatsapp and had the bridge on Matrix. That allowed me to talk to my family. For a while... Then Meta banned my phone number.

    That was actually a good thing since now the Whatsapp option was permanently off the table. We installed Element on their devices and now they use that to communicate with me. They still use Whatsapp to talk among themselves though. Can't really blame them for that since even government and most businesses use Whatsapp in the Netherlands.

    By the way, regarding the iMessage bridge, can't you run macOS in a VM? The kholia repo makes it pretty easy to set up.
