What do you most like? Thoughts on why others should give it a shot?

I guarantee that Putin is paying for NK soldiers. Human trafficking of men for combat. I am curious to know how much he is paying per head and how this slave trade program changes after they see the initial results.

IMO, it is going to come down to how much the Republicans get people to vote early. The last election went bad for them because people didn't trust voting by mail and there's always a contingent of people who intend to vote on election day but don't make it for one reason or another. Political junkies should also watch the weather forecast in close states. Bad weather probably favors Democrats in this election. This is a change from the 80's and 90's when Democrats were less likely to show-up during bad weather.

Would it be much of an issue if we insisted presidential powers were limited to what they were when the Constitution came into force? Today's presidents (both parties) greatly exceed the powers of Washington and Jefferson.

Does anyone consider Tumbleweed stable?

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there's no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.

Correct.

There's been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there's something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

Can confirm. Works on every distro I've tried.

A canal through Israel would involve about 15x the amount of digging as did Panama. Doubling the capacity (Suez + this suggested canal) would cut revenue to less than half (doubling capacity but also introducing market competition). But the operation costs of Suez would also be much lower. Plus all that traffic would create a security risk because it would introduce a new mode of importing terror into the country. It isn't going to happen. This is the stuff of conspiracy theory.

Budgie 11 should be coming out soon and is supposed to be full Wayland. Arch is nice if you can stay up on your updates and can tinker if things don't work right.

Getting a second monitor for my work computer gave me a 30% boost in my productivity.

The engineering would be implausible and unprofitable. The terrain does not support that type of plan.

There's self-hosting that's low risk but does remove some convenience. For example, I use a offline password manager. I keep a Veracrypt container on my computer that hosts that and a few other important files. When I make enough updates, I'll throw a copy into Dropbox so I can save access it elsewhere. The disadvantage is that I cannot update the primary version from one of those other devices but, for me, that's not really an issue.
