They say Emacs is an amazing OS, with the best calendar, to-do list, email client, etc. Just missing a good text editor.

Honestly, what I like about it started with the mascot. Otherwise, I like the fact that the rolling release has automatic testing to make sure it’s mostly reliable. Many people will also tell you how amazing YaST, their “control panel”, is. There’s definitely some stuff to get used to, like patterns and zypper. But, for a set and forget system, it’s hard to beat IMO.
If you’re looking for stable and up to date, give openSUSE Tumbleweed a shot.
I always made sure my laptops had tlp installed. Now it seems openSUSE has cpu power profiles daemon or something by default, which it says conflicts with tlp when I tried to install it. So, I’m giving that a shot.
You probably didn’t have a lot of AUR packages installed. That seems to be a big issue for Manjaro. They hold packages back and the AUR just keeps going so things get out of sync and break.
I think they mean the fact that the development team has seen some shuffling and the project stagnated for a bit. I love Budgie, which comes from Solus, but I’d rather use it on a different distro than using Solus, which seems a bit off-balance at the moment. Give them time to stabilize before trying them.
AdAway is what I use on my rooted devices. It does have a rootless mode as well and if it’s anywhere near as good as the root mode I would absolutely recommend it. I haven’t tested it though so give it a shot.
No, apt usually gives you native .deb installs. Flatpak and Snap are two different container technologies for distributing apps.
I’ve heard that snaps are great for servers, which is where Ubuntu is focused these days. Also, they want people to use their homemade technology instead of Flatpaks, which are much better for desktop users from my understanding.
I know RedReader is one of the apps that’s being allowed as an accessibility tool. But, even then they’ll still be cut off from NSFW content if I understand right. This means you get access to some of Reddit but, obviously not all of it, which is just BS for anyone who wants to keep using it.
I don’t have the Deck, so I kept my answer conservative. Glad to hear PS2 also works well. Might be more worth it for the OP.
The Steam Deck is supposedly an emulation powerhouse from what I’ve heard. Could be a good option if you don’t mind playing older FIFA titles from the PS1 era or similar.
Middle-click might be an option for you too. One handed operation and I’m pretty sure it works on most browsers.
Trisquel is sadly the kind of software that would attract those kinds of users. It’s all about being completely free and open source. No driver blobs or anything even slightly proprietary. I appreciate the stance and how they’re doing it but people who go that far in their software choices tend to be quite serious and almost radical when it comes to their choices. Some of them also feel superior to people who haven’t been able to make the switch to free software. It’s also sad that the way they react will probably chase away more potential converts than it actually helps.
openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed is an option if you wanna stick to RPM-based.
Just out of curiosity, what difference would PAE make in this argument? What is the memory limit on a PAE-enabled kernel? What other differences would it make?
