Its written in Rust, is a completely new code base so not held back by tech debt, and is a clean DE while still being fairly customizable even now.

I personally don’t care why system76 felt the need to code a new DE from scratch, Im just glad they did it. It has given us a whole new ecosystem of GUI toolkits, apps, etc. for linux written in Rust.

You are supposed to use /var/home/user instead of /home/user in your paths, scripts, etc (or /var/$HOME). Im not certain on the why but iirc its because on immutable systems only /var is writable so anything writable has to be under it.

Centralization is not a good thing IMO. Im glad Fedora is bothering to maintain their own repo no matter how useless we find it.

Just search or ask whatever questions you have about Linux (just like your question on GPU use). Overtime you will gain extensive knowledge of linux and before you know it you will be a linux power user.

Yes but for apps like Signal or WhatsApp you probably want them running all the time (in the background) which is not practical with waydroid right now due to its high battery usage. Running one OS on top of another has its toll even its in a container and not a vm. But its okay for foreground apps.

I wonder when Ubuntu will make the shift. They are the only ones left on AppArmor at this point (tbf they have been maintaining it alone anyways).
