I’m the kind of user that cares about function over form, so everything in Windows 11 just annoyed me. Mainly because it was just changes in design that required me to reorient and to learn to use again with no good reason.
I still use Windows at work just because our whole dev stack is on Windows. And every new design change just gets in my way. An OS should enable me do the things that I need and want, it should move out of my way. Sure I’ve added some hacks to restore the functionality I was used to. But the fact that I need to fight the OS to bring back context menus annoys me to no end.

Also, as a dev, I find many things easier done on Linux that Windows, mainly because it just has a better CLI support. It’s not as bad now with Windows terminal, winget and other improvements (dotnet having a proper CLI interface), however I still mostly use git-bash for common stuff like searching the file system. Not to mention that for something like docker I basically just need WSL.

What’s stopping researchers from forming their online community and just putting their work on a forum?

I use logseq for work notes and Obsidian for personal. Obsidian is more markdown which I like for my loose notes. logseq, on the other hand, is more focused on productivity and it’s fully opensource. Obsidian is only free for personal use, however their notes being closer to standart markdown means that they could be openned with any text editor and be just as functional.

Syncing between computers is easy – it’s just a git repo. Dealing with mobile is tricier but I never needed it so can’t comment much.

This assumes that a) workplace has photos of my family and b) they know what music I like. The latter I imagine possible to get from Spotify, but for the former there is no source – neither I nor my family post anything.
So it would be extra dystopian for them to show me any montage.

This feels a lot like vector graphics. I would imagine one could automate SVG to CSS translation.

Can I partition /home directory in a different drive and still fuction?

Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?

I would say yes and yes.

Best way to partition my / and /home directories?

While I didn’t do it on Fedora with KDE, I did it on Ubuntu GNOME. I can’t imagine the process being much different. You basically just need to set up a partition, mount it on /home and copy the files, after all /home directory is nothing special, it just contains files.

Now my setup involved setting up an encrypted partition and then mapping it via LVM. Your milage may wary, but the process should be rather straigthforward with some google’ing and messing around.
