I’m not sure how it works with PIA, but on Proton I can export multiple configs, let’s say 6 different ones with a combination of countries and other options.
Then I add them all into KDE and I can switch between them at will.
It’s a slight extra cost of time at the start, but after that it’s smooth and easy.
Private Internet Access
Can’t you simply get the OpenVPN or Wireguard details from in PIA, and then put them into Gnome/KDE’s built-in VPN app?

Will be something similar for Wireguard.
Bazzite. Idiot proof Nvidia gaming. I’ve installed it for a few Windows-using friends and they’ve had no complaints.
While you are correct, Bazzite is a drop-in OS replacement for Steamdeck and Asus ROG Ally, so there’s a lot of potential for more people hearing about it as it gets more popular.
There isn’t a pro-grade, open source video editing tool or anything close
Do you use open source professional grade video editing tools on Windows? Almost certainly not, so why would it be a requirement for Linux?
What we need is companies producing Linux builds of professional grade closed source software. And if the trend of Microsoft making terrible decisions and Linux use increasing, it might actually happen.
One salty downvote from @rekabis@lemmy.ca :P
doesn’t require rebooting as often.
You have to reboot to upgrade to the latest image, so you’ll have to get rid of the ideal of uptime with years showing on the clock.
Rebooting is optional, and so far it’s been rock solid. Since your workload is all containerised everything just comes up perfectly after a reboot without any intervention.
I think Debian is less maintenance
Arguably that’s the best feature of an atomic server. I don’t need to perform any maintenance, and I don’t need to worry that I’ve configured it in some way that has reduced my security. That’s all handled for me upstream.
Yes you need an ignition file, but you just need to put it on any web accessible (local) host.
I used a docker one-liner on my laptop to host the server:
docker run -p 5080:80 --name quick-webserver -v "$PWD":/var/www/html php:7.2-apache
And put this Ignition file in the directory I ran the above command from: https://github.com/ublue-os/ucore/blob/main/examples/ucore-autorebase.butane
You could equally put the Ignition file on some other web host you have, or even Github.
That’s it, that’s the only steps.
uCore spin of Fedora CoreOS:

I believe you can run one of the ujust scripts to add all the same dev tooling to Bazzite.
I have a Steam Deck for my gaming, which is funnily enough the thing that got me into Linux in the first place.

22 hours battery life.
AMD.
Slim, gorgeous. Runs Linux like a champ.
I have bought only Asus for my last 4 laptops (previously I was Thinkpad), and I have never regretted any of them. Since switching from Windows to Linux earlier this year (Aurora-DX) I have had no issues.
If you want to go even smaller and lighter, this one is awesome but is Intel and doesn’t have as long battery life.
Until immutable distros can easily solve installing certain software
So… it’s easily solved then?
I’m running ProtonVPN on Bluefin from a flatpak with zero issues.
Add in the local REST API as well if you want to easily interact with your notes programmatically:
It was for me. Been using Windows for 20 years, installed Aurora after all the MS craziness this year and haven’t looked back.
In my case it’s turned out to be a whole lot better - my laptop runs cooler, battery last about twice as long, and I no longer have any issues with going to sleep when I close the lid.
If you know Javascript you could very easily write a plugin in Obsidian to do this. Just have the plugin replace any markdown with the Unicode equivalent on save.
Great question though, it’s actually making me wonder why this isn’t a thing in normal plain text editors!
On mobile it is the most visible object on the screen, and very annoying:
I do it that way for my kid as she prefers it, and the “normal” way for me, and it is identically easy.
I cannot understand the claim that it’s easier the seed end, it’s just not true.
It’s definitely cleaner doing it the normal way from the bunch end as you never get bits of banana on you if it’s a particularly squishy one.
Bunch end wins for me. Just as easy if not easier and no mess.
