I would love to see some citations here around serious violence problems on the left. I understand HN can be a bubble chamber, so I'm genuinely looking for a first party source the can corroborate that kind of statement

Check out rnote. It's similar to xournal++ but has an infinite canvas and a slightly nicer UI, assuming you're into gtk style apps. I don't know how responsive it is comparatively, I've just been doing research ahead of getting a tablet.

I don't think most immutable distros are designed to prevent users from mounting the root filesystem as read write. They're instead designed around delivering a core system that's guaranteed to work

Someone mentioned running Puppy Linux from a CD/DVD (write once).

I do wonder: it'd probably be possible for me to boot a Linux distro from a DVD and then launch Promox and my VMs/containers automatically. I take it I'd have to burn a new DVD every time a security patch affecting programs installed on the bare system comes out.

The "main" OS would be hard to compromise in a persistent way as you cannot remount a write-only DVD read-write.

Silverblue also has really good distrobox integration. Anything not available via flatpak (or things I don't want via flatpak for whatever reason) goes in an arch or debian container. You can then export apps or binaries from the container and have it show up in your desktop menu or path.

Silverblue also supports package management via brew, which works pretty well for CLI utilities

I used Hacker's keyboard for years before moving over to unexpected keyboard for any terminal work done via phone. Unexpected keyboard gives easier access to symbols and has slightly larger keys (less keys on the main layer) than Hacker's keyboard.

I still use Gboard for my main keyboard, but looking for replacement suggestions that have a good swipe to text

FUTO Keyboard comes to mind: https://keyboard.futo.org/

Swipe worked pretty well but I had some problems (perhaps switching languages or something? can't remember) so I switched back to plain AOSP keyboard for now.

Yes, jesus, swipe to text! It's 21st century! Why can't they make it recognize various basic words in the three languages I use?

Google seems to have forgotten how to do it well, to be fair. It's one of the lost arts of the ancient civilization of ~2019

While you could look at DoF as a sensor limitation, most photographers use it as an artistic choice. Sure, I could take a pic at f/16 and have everything within the frame in focus, but maybe the background is distracting and takes away from the subject. I can choose how much background separation I want; maybe just a touch at f/8, maybe full on blue at f/1.2

There is termux x11 now, which allows you to run graphical applications, though it's a bit fiddly.

Why "fiddly"?

It seems to work very well...

I know mikrotik supports this. On the higher end, most of the Dells switches I interacted with as well as Aruba had LLDP. Different manufacturers tend to report their interfaces slightly differently though

Big fan of Silverblue/universal blue Fedora immutable installs. I'm using Aurora, a KDE respin, on my framework 13 AMD. There's a framework specific image and it was one of the most complete out of the box Linux installs I've ever used. I truly think that immutable distros are the way forward for desktop Linux
