A market China has grown it's share in quite a lot is EVs. Their main competitor is the US-based Tesla, which is known to have huge reliability issues. I'd say don't throw stones from glass houses?
The varicose veins and skin sagging reminds me a lot of the condition I have, Ehler's Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I was diagnosed at your age and am 30 now. I need things like to use a cane or a walking frame, and other supports at times. Not saying this is for sure what you have but it might be worth bringing up to your doctor because I spent several years wondering the fluff was going on until I found a good doctor that helped me figure it out.
Other signs can be:
Bruising easily
Getting dizzy when you stand up
Having stretchy joints, especially elbows, fingers, lower back (touching toes) and knees
Stretch marks that seem to get bigger, even without weight gain
This is always risky in older humans as well. My grandfather broke his wrist ~10 years ago from a fall. He was doing fine, they kept him for observation because he also hit his head, and he needed surgery to set his wrist. They put him under general anaesthetic, he vomited, aspirated and they broke 5 ribs reviving him. He was in ICU for a week. Still alive today though.
The way they censored the gay out of Steven Universe in Russia was just comically stupid. There's a couple, Ruby and Sapphire, with Ruby being a more hot-headed butch type, and Sapphire being a cool-headed femme. So, Russia gives Ruby a goatee:
Even though, mind you, the dub still has a female VA for her. Anyway, last season of the show, Ruby and Sapphire get married. The showrunner didn't want them to be able to censor it as easily, so she put Ruby in a dress and Sapphire in a suit:
So, naturally, they put the goatee on Sapphire this time:
You're still thinking way too late in the game. It's not even really among the first internet memes. But as far as memes go generally it's bee hundreds of years. We just didn't call them that in wider speech.
I would potentially give Ventoy a shot. Since it's bootstrapping the iso after it's already booted, you might have better luck. Even if you don't want to install it that way for a secure system, it might help you with troubleshooting, because if it boots like that you can figure out what the difference is.
If it was going to be any year, and yes I know this is said a lot, it would be this year. With Win10 support ending, a bunch of Millennials are going to install it on their Boomer parent's computers. You have the German government installing it on every computer they run. Major companies like Lenovo releasing handhelds with it pre-installed.
What are you even talking about? 16GB is plenty for most people's laptop use cases. What was criminal was when the default was 8GB, but they seem to have stopped that now. In saying that, the pre-built Framework 12 starts at 8GB, though that's a lot less criminal when it's not soldered on.
Rather than vanilla Fedora KDE, maybe give Bazzite a go. It's Fedora KDE but focused on gaming with a bunch of nice additions. Plus it's immutable, so once everything's set up, it's pretty hard to break.
