That sounds exhausting. I hope you find peace, one day.

I know this wasn’t directed at me, but I use a Pixel + GOS
Pro: I keep my bootloader locked and just hit a button for updates.
On LOS, you could go through some kind of relocking process each time, but updates are pretty darn frequent. As a result I ran around with an unlocked phone… Which is honestly stupid.
Con: It’s really not a cheap route. New features on GOS like android auto require you to have a fairly newer pixel. They do drop out support as time goes along too. If you get a pixel 7 or 8 now you can expect something like 7 years support. What I’m saying is, if you get some Pixel 5 today, you aren’t getting all the updates…
Also android auto disconnects somewhat frequently while I drive. I can’t blame GOS entirely, android auto is a weird app, and aspects of it are head unit dependent… But my LOS experience was flawless.
This may be a minor point, but I often think in discussions like these, people are talking about the entire OS rather than just the kernel. And while you can take a fully featured desktop system environment for a spin, and it’s pretty good, a lightweight window manager is lightning quick.
If you stick to minimalistic apps for things like photo viewing, you can open folders with 1000s of images in thumbnail mode at incredible speeds, or enormous PDFs. Those are the types of tasks that seemingly slow W10 to a crawl.
In general I also have pretty good luck with stability on my machine. I don’t find myself needing to kill apps that start misbehaving for unexplained reasons, except Firefox… But usually an update sorts it out.
I’m the same as you! I recommend “trash-cli”, then you can undo if you mess something up. You can even set an alias to echo “wrong command” if you use ‘RM’.
I saw this thread on stack Exchange
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41210/redirect-terminal-output-to-image-file#41211
I think you’d write a script that turns standard output from something like khal to an image, then use a feh command to turn it into your background. But honestly it’s pretty fast to set up a keyboard shortcut to launch a terminal session and type khal
.
I think PhotoPrism
I think you want to use hwdb and evdev to do this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/nypsi1/updated_guide_to_remapping_keys_on_linux_using/
If you check out the mailing list archives there is some active discussion about dbus-broker as well.
Vimwiki + Syncthing. You can deafult your vimwiki to create markdown files… This only works if you use vim/neovim as your text editor.
What software did you use to put the slide deck together? It seems to work so nicely when placed on a webpage, too…
I had many problems with installing grub in a dual boot configuration, so much so that I moved to systemd-boot and never had problems after. I don’t know why, but it’s config file approach felt more intuitive.
I’m actually not sure why GRUB is such a popular boot loader that comes packaged with so many distros. Maybe GRUB does something more complex than just bootloading, but I don’t know if most users would care…
