I use Nobara on my gaming PC just because it has some gaming tweaks by default but is otherwise just stock Fedora so any issues can be searched as if I was on Fedora.

Speedtest.net isn’t rigged, I can exceed the speed I get on it with steam.

My USB KVM switch uses them

Depends, every tech company I’ve worked at has had Windows machines for project managers, account managers etc, and Mac for developers and designers. So it is possible to support two OSs as standard. I’ve always just picked the Mac but when my next laptop is due I may ask if anyone uses Linux

Google absolutely update most roads every year or so. Busy roads multiple times a year. Even my cul de sac in a minor town has photos every 5 years

There are a number of GNOME extensions to make it behave almost exactly like KDE if that’s what you’re after

This is where the physical write protect notch on SD cards would be useful.

Cheers, currently grabbed Ubuntu, Fedora, GParted, and Kali.

Original Zip link is dead but someone in the comments recreated it. No idea if they’re any good, hopefully I’ll never look at them

Why not both? I’m not lacking in storage on either the USB or the phone.

Sure, for devices that already are logged in then yes. But to log into my Proton Drive I have to enter my password and authenticate with my Yubikey and it might not be a trusted computer, or the internet connection might be slow. And my self hosted services including my Seafile are behind a VPN so I’d have to log into my VPN on that PC to access them. I definitely transfer files by USB on occasion.

I guess I can put a VPN config file on my USB in the encrypted folder so I can connect to it from any trusted PC

My phone that has no connection, or any USB A / C device that’s around? Not saying its likely

I’ll encrypt anything vaguely private. Honestly its a useful way of me not losing it around the house too, I must have 3 or 4 USB sticks in the house but when I need to install an ISO I can never find any

Well I carry it anyway for impromptu file transfers. I’ve just added 1gig of survival PDFs. Probably never need them but who knows

Looks like navigation is not supported

In the Gadgetbridge settings it says it only works with OsmAnd and Google Maps, neither of which I use. But it should work with those two

Weather works on my Zepp OS watch. Breezy Weather syncs it to gadgetbrige

If you want something feature rich, I have the Amazfit Balance Watch and its just as nice as the Pixel Watch hardware wise. It runs a closed source Chinese Zepp OS but if you pair it with GadgetBridge, none of your data can go anywhere except your phone local storage, and 95% of the features work well.
