Man in the high castle.

When it got software/features I don’t use.

Fedora uses grubby to edit grub. Read documentation. Do some research.

Wofi ok. Rofi-Wayland great. Tofi awesome and enough for my use case.

Natural is totally unnatural.

I don’t do derivatives. Arch based distro? Just use Arch! Ubuntu, Mint, Pop or the hundreds alike, go Debian!

Rclone is awesome. Mega and PCloud got native clients that works great. Nextcloud is an alternative.

sfwbar can do pretty much anything, from statusbar to windows like taskbar. It was a bit of a hazzle to set up but the possibilities are there. It comes with some different setups/themes to get you started. Try it out. My favorite when fiddling around with wayland was yambar, but it’s more of a statusbar.

There’s been a lot of controversies around brave and there is an obvious danger regarding a chromium monopoly. Firefox is not perfect but it’s a really good browser and a statement.

Have you tried sfwbar as a tint2 replacement? It’s rather cool and very customizable.

Good old Openbox all the way. Have an old setup that I return to at times and it’s just great.

As both arch and gentoo has very good documentation, and is very standard Linux as it “always” has been, I don’t see anything hard about them. Nix is a different beast and you need to learn some new approaches.

Alias aptup.

I used it to sync Pictures when not using a cloud with auto photo upload. And a documents folder with stuff I need synced between devices. And a random folder for some things I wanted on my phone vice versa.
