Gnome has touchscreen in mind, but you can totally use its hotkey system and navigate much quicker than point and click functions in Windows. Its a simple DE that gets out of your way to focus on your task, whenever I go back to Windows for work I'm frustrated by all the nonsense

I mean for speed, the type of tire affects your rolling friction

It's all we had in the early 90s for archiving :)

Gnome is different and at first I was lost, but after figuring out the basics is amazingly well integrated and just works as expected. KDE is super configurable but always feels a little off in a hard to describe way, like little quirks or lags or other papercuts.

The repos have a lot of stuff, but if you ever get stuck for q package you can install debs with alien command, or find community repoes here https://software.opensuse.org/ They typically offer 1 click installs, or direct rpm downloads

With OpenSUSE Leap sleep always worked for me, (even hibernate works) but if you had it as external monitor only then sometimes the screen power off would not come back on, and the laptop screen was told to stay off. I found myself using KDEconnect on my phone to try to cycle monitor power on/off command and sometimes it figured it out

OpenSUSE TUMBLEWEED, always updating, but they have an OpenQA tool that checks the builds for success, and if for some reason something did go bad you just reboot and pick the previous (automatic) snapshot. Lots of GUI tools to manage the system and packages via the various Yast2-GUI apps.

Use things like Newpipe on mobile for YouTube, use stract.com for good old fashioned links based on content, not adwords

Yes, its really good, and every time somebody say "Linux needs ____ to make its use easy for new comers". My answer is typically uhm, openSUSE already has it.

That can be:

• OneClick installs
• GUI package management
• GUI service and system settings
• auto cleaning of btrfs

OpenSUSE, you can rollback your OS if an update, or your own mistake, borks it. GUI interface for a lot of stuff. It defaults to enforcing Secure Linux these days. This is a good thing but means extra steps if you want to access certain things remotely, so you can set it to complain or off, instead of the enforcing setting.

There are some android with dual speaker, but the point of post was a phone and/ or laptop audio is poor compared to a real sound system.

I assume it is for transparency, so if he was heavily invested in Bell and then you see laws passed and contracts initiated they favoured Bell over Rogers, then you can see corruption.

Still has binary blobs for part of the code though, so we have no clue if it is 100% secure

What tires are you running on?

True, but If you have been to Vancouver you'd know that cyclists don't stop at stop signs :)

On a mountain bike tire maybe, but a roadbike tire and dual chain ring and cassette, if you aren't a kid or senior you can easily do 30km/h and sustain it. Downhill sections I have seen 55-60 km/h on my bike computer, and that is with little effort because my front end gets twitchy when the grade is steep and speed is that high

To be fair many people out there are just becoming more horrible and its not worth your effort ;)

If you are into that: then tplink kasa switches and plugs can be reconfigured via hs100 app on git hub, so that they only look local and don't try to reach out to a remote server. You can use the app to connect them to your local WiFi. Then you can control them via home assistant locally (or remotely) and not rely on a corporate server and android app for use

When you want to intergrate your smoker into homeassitant so you can adjust it from the office.
