Not sure how old this is, but last time April 12. was on a Friday was in 2019.

If you are the one installing the distro, it probably doesn’t matter that you have to copy-paste some commands to install proprietary codes because it’s a one time thing. In my experience, the bigger problem usually is not the first time setup but the maintenance. In case of Fedora they would have to upgrade it every 6 months. That’s why I usually suggest LTS or something rolling but stabe distro like OpenSUSE Thumbleweed.

Not sure about the opi method but I installed an opensuse tw recently with same nvidia/ryzen config and everything works just fine.

Enabled nvidia and packman essentials in yast and replaced the system packages. That’s option 3 here.

Sodium-ion batteries are already a thing and they look very promising. A few more years and we might not need precious metals for batteries anymore.

Hiding opposing or thought provoking opinions just because the mob don’t like it or agree with it is a bad design which prevents any kind of meaningful discussions and tend to create bubbles. Upvoting and downvoting is not used in the way it was intended for. I’d rather flag posts as spam or low effort which makes the intention clear.

When I install a new software, sure I don’t start auditing the souce code but the developement of a software is a process and I trust that all the contributors and distributors have eyes on it and know what changes a release contains. It’s very hard to sneak in shenanigans into popular repositories. And an opensource software can quickly lose the trust of the community and get replaced if it makes bad turns. In non-free softwares I don’t have this assurance.

Just a bit of complaint: if you need to highlight how important it is to make a backup or set up automatic backups, tell the users how to do that or at least lead them to a page which explains how.

Does it give alternative to sudo -e (sudoedit) too?

Some hashing algorithms are suspectible to long password denial of service so it’s recommended to limit the length of password but certainly not to 20 characters but to a more reasonable limit, like 100 characters or so.
