I’m sure I’ve tried a bunch over the years those are just the two that I’ve actively used the past couple years.

I used to work for Chromebook Retail and I have a bunch of EOL devices around. Tumbleweed has been the most stable in my experience followed by Endeavor OS.

If you don’t want to mess with the surface kernel, I’ve had 100 percent compatibility with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No different kernel required on all 5 of my surface devices.

Ubuntu is Debian with extra steps.

Did you set up recurring searches for new episodes? Idk what it is set to be default but you have to set each show to do episode searches at a given interval.

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.

I personally use fluent reader on my PC and phone. It’s the best one I’ve found so far.

As long as a gnome spin stays maintained. I’ve been using gnome for 8 years and I really don’t want to switch distros again.

More people need to operate like Linus Torvalds. Call people on their shit. Respectfully of course.

Nextcloud is technically a solid product if your goal is to replace all the Google services. Personally I think it’s too heavy and I’ve had issues with using it vs using specialized apps for each service I’m replacing.

Tailscale is probably your best option.
