I had ONE hick-up with Nvidia drivers on arch in about 6 years. I needed to downgrade them initially when Valve released the new Steam UI. That's been fixed pretty fast. When I'm thinking back it was the only problem I had with arch upgrades in its entirety apart from one that was completely on me: installing KWinFT which completely messed up some system libraries (but was repairable). Arch was nothing but rock solid stable for me.

I'm at my 3rd moto atm. A slightly outdated g31. It came with Android 11 and only recently 2 years after I bought it, it got the 12 upgrade. Still gets regular security patches.

Next the apps installe by Motorola (where I mean by optional that you can deactivate them, not uninstall). None of these apps are in the top 12 in the battery usage statistics and most of them are activated.

Moto App (117MB, optional)

A tutorial center with "kurzgesagt" like animations e.g. for gestures. A selection of shortcuts to settings for customizing your device and Motorola QOL settings.

Moto Actions and Gestures (20MB, optional)

Enables the gestures (has no other brand a shaking flashlight gesture or has Motorola patented it?).

Moto App Launcher (4MB)

The Motorola specific desktop customization. I don't know how close it is to the Pixel stock image but it doesn't get in my way.

Moto AI Services (whopping 200MB, optional)

The reviews for this service are scalding. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of having AI on my phone that's not in my control. Two reviewers point out, that it probably isn't very invasive AI and rather used for QOL features, like the shaking flashlight feature.

Moto Feedback (31MB, optional)

Helps the user sending feedback (bug-reports and memory-dumps?) to Motorola. Again smotheringly bad reviews. Never had to do with it or used it knowingly. Can be deactivated.

Motorola notifications (88MB, optional)

Again some furious reviews. Double edged sword as it's used to send news about updates but also push ADs. But the latter isn't very spammy. Just every few weeks or month a push notifications about a new moto. That's about the only place where I would see ADs (apart from regular apps).

Yeah man. If you only find other handlebars aesthetically pleasing and maybe just want to briefly touch them that's definitely not gay. Is it gay to touch your own suspensorium? No difference and very straight.

It was one guy with a caveman mask and one with a Dick Cheney mask. Dick was ironically the neutral or good (control) person who did nothing and the caveman was the bad (treatment) person who once trapped some crows and then released them.

Wildly speculating but could it be that knowledge about skills of corvidae goes back a bit and Hitchcocks "The Birds" wasn't just fiction?

Animal abuse. I fed a TV to an obese frog in The Last Campfire.

In forgot vital wheat gluten alias seitan which a bite of would probably obliterate a gluten sensitive person. It's often used in convenience food.

It's made out of flour and nothing much else and it happens to have the highest amount protein per gram among the plant based products and even higher than some meat products. The problem is the amino acid profile:

Protein is made up of about 20 amino acids. Your body can produce 11 of them itself. You need to ingest 9 of them, the so called essential amino acids.

Meat usually contains the complete protein, as well as soy (tofu, edamame, tvp) does. But there are others like quinoa or hemp seeds.

Other plant based protein sources like legumes, beans, peas, grains, seeds & nuts need to be combined to get the 9 EAA because they all are a bit deficient in mostly one amino acid (but they too contain all of them). That's why beans and rice are often eaten together:

I would look into tofu and TVP (textured vegetable protein). The latter is made up of soy but comes in the form of crumbs of varying sizes. It's dirt cheap here and high protein. If you get the finer grained, you can process them into stuff that resembles ground meat. You can make bolognese, casseroles or burger-patties (in combination with a binding agent like aquafaba or linseeds, onions, mushroom) out of it.

If you don't want to cook you could make shakes with a food processor or smothie mixer. Plantbased protein powder (pea/rice/soy) + fruits, seeds cocosmilk etc.

I'd install the app cronometer and get a kitchen scale if you don't have it.

Cronometer contains a gigantic database of products you can easily enter by scanning the barcode. The database is contributed to by users. I can tell they seem to be strict with the quality-control of the contributed products. I contributed one 3 weeks ago and it's still not in the DB although I looked at pretty in depth websites for the micro nutrients and triple checked the units and numbers.

So you enter your body data and it tells you what your goals are. You can set individual targets, e.g. protein according to your level of activity. You can track workouts too which then modify your macro goals accordingly. You can enter the ingredients of a recipe, save it and restore it when you cook it again. I made myself one e.g. for morning cereals which let me meet my overall daily protein and overall target of 30-40% already. With a daily report it tells you down to the individual vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids what you need. All in the free version.

What you need to do yourself is to find out what micro and macro nutrient is in what product. Cronometer gives you hints if you click on them in the daily report. You don't need to track forever as it's sure cumbersome but to get a feeling for proper nutrition it's an eyeopener.

Endeavour OS is based on Arch and therefore a rolling release distro. So Plasma 6 should come with regular updates, right?

Most of the listed foods don't have much taste on its own. And nobody should eat them unprepared. RememberTheApollo_ described it well. But spices are a thing. With them you can transform them into culinary experiences.

Combine chickpeas with cumin, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini/peanut butter and garlic: delicious nurturing Hummus.

Combine chickpeas with parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, pepper and sesame seeds: mouth watering falafel.

Combine tomatopaste, oliveoil and spices to get a nice base for frying crumbled tofu (a complete protein) to emulate ground meat.

With all the dried food it's important to prepare them correctly (rinse, soak, cook) to get rid of plant toxins like phasin, solanin, oxalates or arsenic.

E.g. a study found out the best way to prepare natural rice. Peeled rice doesn't contain much arsenic but natural/brown rice may contain it in its shell (amounts vary by its country of origin).
