I do agree that the Arch wiki is amazing. I even consult it from time to time. However, a first time user may struggle with a lot of configuration and tinkering that's required. Many people direct users to the AUR. While also great, it can be a huge risk when things are done without extreme caution.

Also, openSUSE is setup with btrfs and snapper for easy rollbacks in case any updates break anything.

If you want something a little more fresh, I'd maybe avoid Arch as your first go and try openSUSE Tumbleweed. It strikes a balance between bleeding edge and stable (they call it "leading edge" I believe). Everything is tested before release and isn't too stale like Ubuntu/Debian flavors. I personally like KDE for the desktop environment but the installer lets you choose.

If you want to stick with Ubuntu or something similar, I'd recommend Linux Mint. I used it before switching to openSUSE.

Most options should be dual boot friendly but I'd recommend installing Windows first to avoid bootloader issues.

This hits close to home. Especially City of Heroes. Part of me wants to play on the new community servers but I don't have the time or energy anymore after work and kids. I can barely find time to exercise and play the occasional game.

Belter slingshot racers know this all too well. NOTE: Spoiler for an episode in the Expanse which everyone should watch if they haven't already.

The Bolt EUV is the only reason we have an electric car now (personally, I would have gotten the smaller and cheaper Bolt but it was a family decision to go with the EUV). It was reasonable for what you get. The only downside is the slower charging compared to other EVs but I don't plan on taking it for longer trips. We have an ICE for that.

Sounds like their lawyer was dead on balls accurate.

I have the same setup with Firefox and Bitwarden without issue. Do you happen to have Firefox setup for restricted battery usage? Android can be quite aggressive with that.

Cloudflare if they have the TLD you want/need (their pricing has no markup). There's also Namecheap and Porkbun. Sometimes they have sales that can make it cheaper.

NewPipe still seems to work for me.
