I completed up to rule 13 but couldn’t do 14 because I couldn’t load the image of the country.

I liked qdirstat

Probably a good idea. I decided to learn Rust after using Python for a couple years. I took a semester of C++ but barely remember anything. Maybe I should write a project in C and rewrite later in Rust. I personally only learn when I get inspiration to make a program, which means I learn on the spot. I don’t think it is the best way to do things (if I knew the language better I may make better decisions), but it is the only way I can motivate myself to learn.

If all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.

Good

Varia is a download manager written using GTK4. Simple, easy, and best of all speeds up downloads significantly on most sites. There also is a extension for Chromium and Firefox, but I haven’t tried them.

Yes

The link to the Joplin’s website is https://joplinapp.org/

I recommend Notesnook. It is open source, cross platform, and cloud synchronized E2E encrypted. I know cloud based wasn’t something you wanted especially, but I thought it was worth mentioning because it is encrypted.

No

It is recommended for activists, but it really can be for anyone. It is basically just Android and your grandmother could daily drive it about as well as any other Android OS. It’s solid, security hardened, gives extra security toggles, and extends device longevity past being made ewaste by EOL. I was hesitant at first to use it, especially given its cult-ish community, but it really has “just worked”.

The ones I liked the most was Kusal and Lessac.

Never ask it to do regex. Holy fuck, thank God I was just doing it for funsies as a test of local LLMs. I got it to go into an infinite loop trying to figure out what I asked.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is a great rolling-release distro. The Yast tool is a powerful GUI System Admin/Settings app. Plus the openSUSE logos are green which is a good color lol.

Fedora is promoting their KDE Spin to a full Edition, alongside Fedora Workstation (GNOME). Nothing really is changed, the KDE Spin has always been good.

Not really needed on Android or in general. If all you want to know is whether your system is compromised, use Auditor by GOS.

Manjaro is notorious for being a shit distro with breakage and out dated packages from their repos. Instead check out CachyOS or EndeavourOS for easy arch-based distros.

To add to your list: openSUSE Tumbleweed, VanillaOS

You dont have to install over the drive. Retrieve any important files from the drive by booting a USB live OS.
