Use Harper, instead. It runs locally, and gives nearly instant results.
Yes. Make SSDs wear down even faster with immutable systems, rolling releases and Flatpak.

I would recommend calling it libre software/hardware/etc (whichever applicable) instead of open source, many people have a hard time distinguishing open source and source-available, eince they both essentially mean that the source code is freely available; conversely, libre (or liberated, although I have not seen usages of the latter) software/hardware/whatever mentions the more important aspect, which is freedom.
It would help, especially for families, where parents hardly spend time with their children, which then wonder why they are so estranged with their offspring.
Also, making money requires having that money, in the first place, which is why many are in perpetual poverty.
In my humble opinion, for some jobs, 5h/day would bring more benefits.

Yes, but it does show a bottleneck from KDE’s side, there. It means you’ll need fast storage.
Intel Celeron N3060, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, and I live boot from a PNY USB pen
KDE has an insane footprint, from my testing. easily 2-4 minutes top from booting up Mint or Void Xfce, and GL getting KDE (tested using Chimera and Fedora) to fully load up in under 15 minutes. Of course, this is all live booting, but still…
I do it differently; I essentially have a software list there, too, and all are categorized.
Servo is actually quite usable, right now.
“The move replaces SDDM but means giving up on custom login themes.”
— It’s FOSS
Since when is a PC from 2018 old?? It’s only from 2 year-… oh.
I believe both are shit in their own ways. Wayland has some good ideas, and so does X11; as such, I believe there ought to be a third display server in the works.
Yeah. Although Wayland is NOT modular, as on the compositor taking care of things that probably shouldn’t be controlled by it, and Rust’s compiler doesn’t support every architecture under the sun, unlike C.
Well, each one has pros and cons. *UNIX (I’m including *Linux and *BSD only, since masOS is technically uses a Unix-like kernel and *BSD code) systems tend to provide more control to the user, as they are Libre Software; however, the code can be rather clunky (especially in GNU + systemd + Linux distributions), and is much less secure.
What is Libre Software?
Libre Software is one in which you have the following freedoms:
- Run the program for any purpose
- Study the program by any means
- Modify the program code in any manner
- Distribute the program at any price
Depending on the Libre Software license, there can be conditions:
- In any copies which you distribute, you must provide credit to authors of which code you used, and keep the license notice (example: Expat license)
- If any patented techniques are on the code, you must provide rights to them (example: Apache 2.0 license)
- Any code on the program is also licensed under it, and you must pass down the same freedoms and obligations; this can be either per-file (example: MPL 2.0), or more commonly, for the entire program (example: GPL 3.0 or later), although exceptions can be made for other programs using it as a library (example: LGPL 3.0 or later)
- There must not be any system (e.g. DRM) preventing people from replacing the program with a modified version of it (example: GPL 3.0 or later)
- Network use can also be considered conveying (example: AGPL 3.0 or later), in which case you must also pass down the rights & obligations
macOS, on the other hand, is much more restrictive, but comes with much better security (the best out of any desktop OS).
