The price seems reasonable, thanks.

They look great, thanks for the suggestion.

Less than 100€, but from what I gather this is quite an expensive hobby! As far as features are concerned I wouldn’t know where to begin. I suppose I quite like the Thinkpad X220’s keyboard experience, if that can be translated at all to mechnical keyboards.

Is there a way to assess which packages on my linux distribution aren’t open source? I’m planning on having a secondary machine which is exclusively open source, but not sure how I would go about ensuring that is the case.

Agreed - the message I was trying to convey is that I use a very secure password, which sacrifices convenience for security - is this necessary though? I have no concerns related to memorising or particular difficulties typing it out as it follows a passphrase structure for the most part.

Arch wiki is superb, couldn’t have installed or configured Arch without it.

I think a lot of the comments have really hit the nail on the head. Never hurts to take a step back and try to detox from the climate of negativity that inundates social media. Go out for a walk, go cycling, touch grass

Politics outside the US can get pretty goofy, but Americans just seem to be on another level… just a shame that we all end up having to deal with the consequences :(
