Redeven

Except the installer requires one specific repo mirror to be up, which can’t be customized, which has been down for weeks and the dev isn’t very interested in providing any fix or workaround so a lot of people literally can’t install it.

It’s a bad suggestion, it’s a beta product not fit for end user consumption yet.

Timeshift is smart enough, they deal with that.

Same, only reasons I had to move to KDE were, GNOME crashes when both my monitors are off (so, every night when I go to sleep), and tray icons are terrible (as GNOME intentionally doesn’t support them), the extensions are all very lacking in features compared to the Windows tray (kde somewhat matches almost everything except being able to reorder the icons).

The ArcMenu extension is by far the start menu I’ve liked the most out of all options on linux, and it saddens me that there’s no KDE plasmoid/widget variant

EndeavourOS.

I’m naturally a tinkerer and an avid gamer, with very recent hardware so an Arch based distro fits really nice.

It has just the right amount of pre-installed stuff. Not quite as bloaty as Manjaro or most ubuntu-based distros, but not quite as DIY as vanilla Arch. I know I can install and uninstall anything on Linux but when a distro already comes with just the right baseline for me, work smarter, not harder.

Ubuntu/Debian based distros didn’t quite suit me, I love the AUR to death, I love the Arch wiki (even if a lot of it can be used just fine on other distros), I love rolling release and having the latest everything. I do use PopOS on my laptop since I use it a lot less and therefore I want to update it less often.

Only issue is when they ship dumb defaults sometimes that break my workflow but I can diagnose and undo them I guess.

To “link” other devices you have to scan a qr from your phone, so it’s certainly possible that during that process the devices connect and share the key, and the servers don’t have it.

Or the servers could have it. Idk, it’s closed source, that’s the problem at hand.

NVME ssd in a carry usb adapter. It’s as reliable as a regular ssd, but it’s way more portable and durable than commercial external hdds. A little bigger than usb flash drives but worth the tradeoff. Wouldn’t use it as the only backup place for a password dB file but for carrying around its pretty good.
