    It's usually pretty easy to find secondhand Microsoft Surface devices for that price point (check craigslist, FB marketplace, and the like), and they absolutely rock when using a Gnome-based distro (like Fedora).

    There's a great project that works on Linux compatibility for Surface devices, you can check it out here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix








  • You pretty much got it, except for the fifth point.

    A desktop environment ("DE") is separate from the compositor (X11 or Wayland), but can't exist without it.

    At the end of the day, a DE is really just a "window manager" with a bunch of bundled applications, like taskbars/panels, a file manager, an app menu, etc. It's as minimal or as feature rich as you want it to be.

    The window manager dictates what to draw on the screen and where, but the compositor is what actually does the work. One is kind of useless without the other.

    Hopefully that makes sense, I'm not a rocket surgeon.

    I really like cascadia-code for my terminal (nerdfonts.com has the version with all the ligatures)

    I don't do any graphic design or anything like that, so the fonts that come with any modern distro seem to do the trick - maybe I'd install ttf-ms-fonts for better compatibility when dealing with files across multiple operating systems.




  • It's not just a habit, it's a chemical dependence. If you really want to quit, I suggest vaping. It was invented to be a smoking cessation tool as you can easily taper off the amount of nicotine, while still performing "the ritual".

    Once the chemical dependency is gone, then you can go for a walk or something to keep yourself busy, but until then you've got an addiction to deal with.
