I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it’s not even had that issue.
I’ve had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.
Peanut butter jelly time!
MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)
Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)
First hard drive Linux: Debian.
Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.
I believe sync for lemmy has a tablet mode. Never used it so can’t comment on quality.
There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.
If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.
This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.
I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.
Morticia Addams vibes.
Not sure if it maps to your requirements exactly, but check out the UHK:

I have a v1 and a v2. Very happy with both.
Existing established open source projects? Basically never.
My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.
Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I’ve been very happy with Debian (Sid).
The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can’t hope to make a new one from scratch.
The last “new” browser engine (that wasn’t built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.
The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla “ran out of money” (they depend on Google for their existence), and it’s already rotting.

There is no such thing as a visual learner.
Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don’t have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don’t need a $2000 top of the line phone.
An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I’m probably going to call opulence.
“Bleeding long term hires” are reading the tea leaves. Better to get a new job when you have one, finding a job when you need it is much harder.
Talking about tech startups:
Depends on the startup. If they have a good team, they might get acqui-hired. If they have any patents or other IP, they might get acquired (for not much). Investors get the bulk of these types of exits, and the founders and employees get screwed.
If the startup doesn’t even have that, they may just wrap up the operation and go out of business.
I never figured out why, but I couldn’t get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I’ve been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.
My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).
The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.
Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.
No, no, see… They bought Indian oil from India. You know India, known for their oil reserves. Totally not Russian I tell you.
Do no buy GE. Super trash all of their appliances.
As for recommendations - LG seems to be ok so far.
I’m 40+ and still love spinners :)
