I think Linux/Wayland, especially on mobile, really misses a universal back button/gesture, something like Android has. Every app has to implement their own version and on Gnome specifically it's usually a button on the top left, the farthest away from where your hand is if you're right handed. It's a similar problem to what iPhones have and one of the reasons i prefer Android over iOS.

@gloopsies the more I think about it, the more I wonder if we should just… do the Android-like back button and have it emit a navigation back key press. It would work in a surprising number of apps already, and could be handled for GNOME with Libadwaita…
We chatted a bit about this at GNOME Beers at FOSDEM. I think @cas was someone I was chatting with at the table? I’ll raise the idea w/the GNOME design team at least.
