It's been a few years since I gave it a try - so I don't remember specifics, just the impression I described above, and that it put me off from using it.
It is a web designers masturbation phantasy - fancy looking, but convoluted and impractical.
For me personally the shitty UI of discord causes so much friction that I'll never interact with discord ever again, unless I can reach it via some gateway from some of the messaging systems I use - which so far doesn't happen as I'd need to log in to discord to configure the gateway. I tried that once, never again.
Bluesky already allows you to use your own domain for your handle. Currently they just use a TXT record in DNS to verify it is your domain - but adding another record to specify on which instance this is hosted shouldn't be too hard.
I do have a bunch of the HPs for work related projects - they are pretty nice, and the x86 emulation works pretty good (and at least feels better than the x86 emulation in MacOS) - but a lot of other stuff is problematic, like pretty much no support in Microsofts deployment/imaging tools. So far I haven't managed to create answer files for unattended installation.
As for Linux - they do at least offer disabling secure boot, so you can boot other stuff. It'd have been nicer to be able to load custom keys, though. It is nice (yet still feeling a bit strange) to have an ARM system with UEFI. A lot of the bits required to make it working either have made it, or are on the way to upstream kernels, so I hope it'll be usable soon.
Currently for the most stable setup I need to run it from an external SSD as that specific kernel does not have support for the internal NVME devices, and booting that thing is a bit annoying as I couldn't get the grub on the SSD to play nice with UEFI, so I boot from a different grub, and then chainload the grub on SSD.
At least HP and Lenovo have arm64 notebooks with Windows.
User space is not breaking often enough for nvidia users. If it'd break regularly maybe users would either buy something with proper support, or force nvidia to open their stuff so it can be maintained like the rest, and no longer is a roadblock for progress.
On X11 much of the window management was considered a hint, but the application could just ignore it and do whatever it wanted.
On Wayland applications can't do stuff like self position - they can send some hints, but the compostior is in full control of what to do with them.
I use tiling window managers, and applications doing whatever has become more and more of an issue with ion3 over the last years - together with stuff changing the display resolution (they can't do that on wayland). Now with Hyprland on wayland pretty much all issues are gone.
Wayland got rid of a lot of the stupidity of apps thinking they know better what to do than the user, fortunately.
Damit hab ich dann wieder das Transportproblem, und spaeter Mietwagenbedarf - was immer noch teurer ist als einfach das Auto direkt mitzunehmen.
Der relevante Teil ist eher "wer nicht eingezogen werden will kann das ohne Flucht aus Russland tun" - was auch heisst dass wir in Europa nur in Ausnahmefaellen russischen Wehrdienstverweigerern Asyl gewaehren sollten.
Das wurde schon mehrfach heiss diskutiert - und ich seh auch aus meiner russischen Verwandtschaft dass das kein Problem ist. Wer nicht mit dem Krieg einverstanden war oder eben einfach nicht selber mitmachen wollte hatte sofort nachdem die Mobilisierungsgeruechte kamen einen systemrelevanten Zweitjob. Wollen viele hier halt nicht glauben dass der Grund fuer russische Wehrdienstverweigerer die in die EU kommen in den meisten Faellen nicht die Sicherheit vor Verfolgung in Russland ist.
(Das gerade gesagte trifft jetzt nicht auf diverse arme Gegenden weit im Osten zu - aber die haetten eh praktisch keine Chance es nach Europa zu schaffen, wenn sie denn ueberhaupt wuessten dass das eine Moeglichkeit waere, und sind daher fuer diese Diskussion irrelevant)
