I really hope journalists stop called IBM Red Hat. Red Hat is dead.

Depending on how much you drive and how expensive your local energy bill is, the economics can work out better than you think.

I usually charge at home, and my equivilant cost per gallon (assuming 25mpg) is about $0.50/gallon.

If I drive 1000 miles per month, that’s about $140/month I’m saving. If gas prices increase to $6/gallon, which I’m sure they will eventually, that’s $220/month.

It doesn’t justify a new Tesla, but used ones are getting cheaper finally.

Seconded on Joplin. Does everything I need, looks nice, and I can sync it if I want to

VanillaOS is pretty much what you’re asking for. The only real downside right now is that Orchid probably won’t have KDE support out of the gate

It’s not Manjaro
