I mention https://lemmy.ca/c/linuxphones in case you’ve not found it already. It’s not like an authoritive, central forum where everyone goes but maybe it’s a start.

I like your thought so I wondered if there is a site to help people pick a distro and found this:
For a windows gamer type of person it came up with Linux Mint
https://distrochooser.de/en/d59f9b3e7b9b/
…at the top of a long list of other choices. Not bad!
NY is next
New York Senate Bill S8102A goes further. It “requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance” to check all users’ ages, and provide this info to “all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications” – as well as app stores.
At 5mbps it should take about 1 hour for 2GB. It sounds like your actual speed is 2-3x lower. Can you take that up with your ISP? Are you certain your machine has the best connection within your control, i.e. directly wired into the router? Network equipment is not faulty? Have you tested with iperf within your network? Just in case there’s another issue beside the slow external speed…
Another thing that springs to mind is to use a backup tool like
resticthat will not only compress but deduplicate your data into hundreds of small files that might make upload faster. Dedup can save significant space and you can try it out locally first. Just dorestic initthenrestic backup PATH.Restic can use rclone as a backend also and upload straight to google: https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#other-services
Finally there’s sometimes nothing faster than physically moving data. A person jogging with a 100gb drive has great bandwidth! Is there a location with better internet within reach? A library or school perhaps?
You’re welcome!
This reminds me of RSS, designed for reading and pared back to the minimum required to deliver the message and nothing more.
Deedum has fallen behind and doesn’t support recent android it seems. Same for the only other client in fdroid, Pocket Gopher.
Gopher guarantees readers that there will never be anything other than text and media served on a site. They don’t have to trust the publisher, the protocol enforces it.

This seems to be not uncommon problem with default setup of cachy. Recommendations there are that 2gb default for /boot is too small and some other tips to slim it down.
I see this with flatpaks, the solution might be to grant permission to the app to the part of the filesystem your dragging from with flatseal/cmdline.
HOWEVER I do think the desktop is missing a pop-up which offers to do this for you when it happens. This is how android does it when an app needs access outside its own files, you just get a prompt to allow it.
This is the sandbox future - it’s safer and you can trust that apps can’t go snooping around your system but users shouldn’t need to fiddle with perms all the time to get stuff done.
This is my thought too. Your screenshots don’t show cpu freq. Everything can appear normal on other measures but if your cpu has throttled right back it’ll run slow with no obvious cause. I have seen this on certain laptops when external peripherals are added/removed after waking from sleep. Sometimes forcing sleep/wake or a reboot will fix.
Use
lscpuat the cmdline or better yet install gnome extension ‘system monitor next’ and put the cpu freq graph in your top bar to watch it in realtime.https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3010/system-monitor-next/

How was your experience with it?
There’s an unofficial desktop version of Newpipe now it seems:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe
I’ve not tried desktop but I do use it on Android. Taps to the left\right advance video in multiples of 10s. Dragging vertically on left/right adjusts volume and brightness. It’s a pretty decent touch interface I’d say.
Stow cannot do this as far as I know. Chezmoi can though you’ll need to fiddle with templates and ignores to achieve it:
However as others have said a dotfile manager may not be appropriate for all apps. It assumes a certain kind of behaviour of the app - known config locations, text files etc.
I think your suggestion to backup/clone/restore your ideal Firefox config onto new machines is probably most practical if you do want to use a dotfile manager with it. That way you ensure the dir name is the same across all machines. Then you can use stow to manage parts of the profile going forward.
I would consider FF’s own sync solution also though - I believe you can self-host it too.
This dir structure for git projects is the best one I think, especially if managing multiple identities/git configurations. Git has a ‘includeif’ to change your setup depending on which dir you are currently in:
Grateful the SFC has got users’ backs!
