I think moving beyond C++ is critical for the long term success of KDE, glad to see it's a new goal

Its not as energy dense, overall battery life will be worse. The battery won't degrade as fast overtime, so the battery will keep more total capacity over the years, as compared to a lithium ion battery that would have noticeably less battery after a few years of use.

I'll start this by saying I'm not familiar with either model, but as a general rule, always go x86 when you can. The Intel processor is going to be much better supported. You might get the snapdragon version to run, but it likely isn't supported by mainline Linux.

That being said, touch screen support on Linux is improving rapidly, but still isn't quite there. Make sure you're aware of the user experience before buying so you won't be disappointed.

Also, my unsolicited 2 cents, I would try to avoid buying lenovo. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of fixing a few of their products (an all-in-one and a few laptops, including a new thinkpad) and can confidently say their reliability, and repairability have greatly diminished. They use cheap parts and are in general, poorly designed.

A (small) part of not putting all your eggs in one basket is also avoiding vender lock-in. Having your personal email with proton, and your password manager with them makes it very difficult to switch in the future if you need to.

On a side note, I use anonaddy (now Addy.io). It allows you to create email aliases on the fly. So when I sign up for a new account somewhere, I generally make up some email like "example@my-account.anonaddy.com" for the email and save that right to bitwarden.

Looks like simplelogin supports the same thing https://simplelogin.io/blog/subdomains/

PS. Using your own domain name is a great way to avoid vender lock-in =)

That's not an earwig, this is an earwig

Can I talk to you about our Lord and Savior Tumbleweed?

You're comparing a microcontroller to a purpose built device. Its apples and oranges.

There are add ons to the flipper that incoporate an esp running maurader firmware for wifi tools

Related pro tip, if you're changing a flat tire and don't have any jack stands, place the spare/damaged wheel under the car while you're working on it. Better to have the car fall on the wheel then potentially your leg

Pine64's pinetab 2 also looks pretty good

For context:

Snaps are a way to build applications so that they can run on any platform with one build method. It makes it easier for developers to publish their apps across multiple different Linux distro without having to worry about dependency issues.

Snaps have been very poorly received by the community, one of the largest complaints is that a snap program with take 5-10 seconds to start, where as the same program without snap will start instantly.

Ubuntu devs have been working for years to optimize them, but it's a complex problem and while they've made some improvements, it's slow going. While this has been going on, Ubuntu is slowly doubling down more and more on snaps, such as replacing default apps with their snap counterparts.

On the other hand, other methods like flatpak exist, and are generally more liked by the community.

This has led to a lot of Ubuntu users feeling unheard as their feedback is ignored.

Using the HDMI out on the phone is the best option. If your phone doesn't support video out, this is the best way I found to do it.

I recently had to do this with my pixel when the screen died. I couldn't find this advice anywhere so I'm super proud of this work around. Unfortunately it's not easy. You'll need a OTG adapter, a wired keyboard, a Bluetooth keyboard, and a crap ton of patience.

Step one: enable android talk back/screen reader. This can be done using the volume keys or Google assistant. https://www.theverge.com/23184596/android-screen-reader-how-to-enable

Step two: connect the wired keyboard using the OTG adapter. Use the keyboard's keys to unlock the phone and use the arrow keys to navigate to the Bluetooth settings.

Step three: connect the Bluetooth keyboard to free up the USB port on the phone.

Step 4: use the Bluetooth keyboard to enable the backup method of your choice.

Bonus advice: Use Google play store on a computer to remote install a screen cast app https://www.howtogeek.com/690556/how-to-wirelessly-mirror-your-android-phone-to-your-tv/

Use the wired keyboard and screen reader to open the app and start the screen cast. That makes things much easier.

SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.

Sounds like they're spinning this off to a separate legal entity which won't be profit driven. I'm not saying don't be cautious, but it looks like they're taking appropriate steps to work with the community.
