It would be largely fine, but be careful. Being immutable, a lot of things that you would expect will work differently or not at all. I would not recommend it, but if you’re in for a challenge, it’s not bad.

When you press a button on this revolutionary machine, it will automatically left click for you!

On GNOME, I like BlackBox, though Prompt looks promising once it’s stable.

A combination of heaters and being mostly deployed in warmer environments, I’d assume.

They have an “Office Key” on some official keyboards. Pressing Office+L opens LinkedIn. The Office key is actually mapped to that long modifier shortcut.

Actually, the primary dev is no longer active. The other developers have moved to a fork called Input Leap that has Wayland support.

Maybe try Input Leap. It’s an actively maintained fork of Barrier (Barrier isn’t maintained), and it has Wayland support.

Most of what you said applies to the Linux kernel too. It’s good to have other options, but being popular does not mean something is bad.

That should work, though you may want to look into Framework instead.

.ovh domains are like $2/year, if that helps.

Honestly, an actual ereader might work out better for you if that’s all you plan to do.

Correct, but new users don’t want to need the command line for something as simple as installing packages.

That should work. One of the benefits of Wayland is that it’s better at scaling than X11. What version of KDE are you running? Is there a switch between two different types of scaling (one is blurry for XWayland applications but works for all of them, the other is sharp for all applications but only some XWayland applications and all Wayland applications work)?

You get a full desktop environment, which is preconfigured, has better connected parts, and includes GUIs for things like settings.

Including non-binary people was not the problem. Relevant quote:

“AnitaB.org, the nonprofit that runs the conference, said there was “an increase in participation of self-identifying males” at this year’s event. The nonprofit says it believes allyship from men is important and noted it cannot ban men from attending due to federal nondiscrimination protections in the US.”

They identified as male, not non-binary, and the event allowed men to come.

Pretty much anything with XFCE, LXDE/LXQt, Cinnamon, MATE, a window manager like Sway or i3, or probably some others I’m forgetting, will work just fine. GNOME and KDE are the most popular but the slowest, and from what I remember, Deepin, Budgie, and Pantheon are somewhat slow.

That’s a good point. What do you use instead?

I’m not them, but I’ll give my reasons. Compared to Ubuntu or Linux Mint, Fedora is more up-to-date, I like the default desktop more, and it uses a method of installing applications called “Flatpak,” which I like more than Ubuntu’s “Snap.” (Snap can be removed on Ubuntu, but Fedora’s default setup is closer to what I want.) Compared to other distros, it is more polished and consistent, largely due to it being backed by a large company. Fedora is really good for both power users and beginners, but being up-to-date can sometimes lead to bugs or incompatibilities, and the default desktop (GNOME) can be hard to adjust to. As a result, I would recommend Linux Mint as a good option for you.
