Vast majority of sites work for me (librewolf), but for the few that don’t I also have Vivaldi installed

Both of these are on f-droid

My favorite e-reader is Cool Reader(granted, it was last updated 3 years ago)

My favorite music player is innerTune (however that is more for playing YouTube vids as music)

Second impression of Garuda (Arch based). My first impression was the dragonized version, which is KDE with lots of mods to make it Mac like, but with extra window animations.

I like things simple, so when I tried Garuda again, I installed the Gnome version. Other than some weirdness getting my Nvidia card working with Wayland, it has run better than anything else on my laptop.

Fully agree with this. There will be a slight learning curve since it will be different from what your used to, but it’s friendly enough to figure out.

If you know the windows program you want to use just search something like “Linux alternative for x” (sometimes there is specific KDE or Gnome progs)

Yep, I’m 36, mid Atlantic US, started driving stick when I was 18. I inherited this little Geo Metro for college, so it was learn stick or no car. (I really liked that car dispite it not having air conditioning, no tachometer, and manual everything)

Next car I bought was a manual. Now since my spouse can’t drive stick we only have automatics.

Whenever we need a new car it’ll be electric, which unfortunately (by design) are not manuals. So no more stick for me.
