I'd say use EndeavourOS and if you choose NVidia in the menu when you boot the installer it will install the distro with NVidia drivers from the start and there's nothing to fiddle with. The updater (called yay) will henceforth update NVidia drivers as needed. It's one of the most handsfree NVidia experiences there is as kernel and driver updates are automatic via Arch.

I also suggest installing apps via Flatpak, this way there wont be problems with library versioning and system and apps are separated nicely. You can install KDE Discover for example to have a GUI app "store" that supports Flatpak. Just make sure to have the right Desktop portal installed. I run KDE but for some reason needed both the kde and gtk portals to get nice fonts everywhere.

You install stuff with Yay or Flatpak, e.g. "yay -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde" or "flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam". If you use Flatpak install Flatseal, it can handle permissions, for example you can give Steam access to another folder you want to use for games, for example I use /home/protonbadger/Games/ and gave Steam access to the folder this way.

SUSE Tumbleweed is a good alternative and more polished for desktop users, but you'll have to install NVidia drivers manually afterwards, there are wiki guides and youtube videos showing how. Occasionally when a new kernel update comes out the NVidia drivers trail a day or two so be aware of that on SuSE. NVidia have their own official repository with SUSE drivers.

I suggest trying both first in virtual machines for a few weeks.

Yeah, these days Btrfs is solid and well proven for many use-cases, but its old reputation will probably never go away, at least on reddit. Interestingly BcacheFS have a great reputation, despite not being in Linux , having a way to go yet and only having one single developer which is a big problem, I think Linus worries about that too.

If it lives up to everything Kent Overstreet says about it, it will be a great filesystem and I'll be happy to use it, until then I'm doing good with Btrfs. On my PC I'll probably never notice any difference between the two.

I’d like to hear from people who read more on those devices.

I started reading books electronically on my Palm Pilot III, later a Palm V, then a SONY Clie. I loved the convenience of it, especially because I didn't have the shelf space for all my books at home and I'm into 800+page fantasy books that are a hassle to carry around. After reading on PDAs anything is a luxury. These days I read on my smartphone when out and 11inch iPad at home. It's important to manage display brightness though to not tire the eyes, unlike eInk which depends on ambient light.

I generally use Google play books, it syncs across devices and have translation which is good as I started reading French books. But these features are also available on other readers like Kindle.

Interestingly I once worked on an eInk reader for a book chain competing with Amazon. I didn't get any freebie though.

Yeah, it's very typical human to double down when things start to go wrong. It's this kind of stubborn bloody minded mindset and a lot of luck that saved Tesla when it was balancing on a knife's edge and same with SpaceX, he kept pushing his crazy ideas but they worked out in the last second. However, Twitter is a different beast entirely, it's not going to be saved by manufacturing, it's about something Elon Musk does poorly with: people.

Himmelbjerget (Sky Mountain) in Denmark, it's an entire 147m

Well, I've also climbed some baby mountains in Western Canada, like Grouse Mountain (just a short hiking trail) and the Columbia Ice Field (basically drove up there) but how can the compete to Himmelbjerget ‽

Just some simple stuff:

Strix ~> alias
alias balanced 'asusctl profile -P balanced'
alias performance 'asusctl profile -P performance'
alias quiet 'asusctl profile -P quiet'
alias upd 'yay ; flatpak update'

We're all friends and some of us have both Android and iOS phones. Facetime is excellent.

I also use Signal or Skype, though the latter usually from my PC.

I enjoy that extra stability and separation between system and apps, especially as I use a rolling distro as a gamer. Hearing talk about Flatpak I disliked it for the same reasons, but I decided to try it out after Steam Native bugged due to a system library update. I enjoy it now also because it feels good that installing apps don't get a root password and scatter files everywhere they please in the system.

On servers it's different ofcourse, Flatpak is basically for desktop apps. Snap is also designed for text mode stuff, servers and IoT devices but there's the problem with it being controlled by one company.

Yes, Bonjour is a magic word. La politesse/etiquette and respect for all people is very important in France. Here in NA when we enter a store the staff greets the customer and bows and scrapes for us, in France when entering a store the customer politely acknowledges and greets the staff with Bonjour - and not just in stores. And then there's the other small phrases that goes a long way, like merci, pardon, s’il vous plait, au revoir, use monsieur/madame/mademoiselle, as in Excusez-moi, madame, etc.

Dress a little bit nicely when exploring helps, don't walk while eating, etc.

When foreigners complain that the French are rude or snobbish it is often a misinterpretation; not adhering to simple etiquette, can be offensive or insulting and they will react to that demonstratively or "in kind", more or less subtly..

I rather like La Politesse and being respectful to everyone.

Bloat is often held up as the ultimate evil without further ado, scaring everybody. I think a little extra disk space would be more concerning on an embedded system. Snap is also aimed at embedded systems btw.

I have a version of The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that's genuine leather bonded with gold leaf page edges and builtin bookmark. It's on display on a special shelf. Everyone who visits thinks it's a bible, and in a way it is as it does have a lot of good advice about life, the universe and everything.

GuildWars 2, small scale stuff on the borderlands with my WvW guild.
