Seems like Gboard is incompatible with it. Is there a good enough open source alternative to Gboard in 2024 that has smooth glide-typing and a similar layout?

Any of these should work.

https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard (guessing, since AOSP Keyboard works and this is a fork)

Not open source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/swiftkey

Does not have glide/swipe (reserved for symbols), but I just installed and giving it a shot: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

Unexpected keyboard is unexpectedly awesome. Looks a bit dated, but boy does it have some functionality packed into it.

My choice is https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/

It does have glide typing, even.though I don't use it.

It rather uses long-tap to access multiple symbols, and can be split or pushed to a corner on devices with a big screen.
