What would be the point of the sanctions then? If the Linux Foundation were against it they could move the infrastructure to an other jurisdiction which does not sanctize countries, that would carry a strong message. But if they refuse to do that, what's wrong with others' forking it and doing it? That's the point of opensource.

I doubt if someone wants to introduce a backdoor, they would do that with a russian mailing address. People removed were open and transparent about their nationalities which means there is even less chance them being bad actors than some random guy pretending to be American.

Some hashing algorithms are suspectible to long password denial of service so it's recommended to limit the length of password but certainly not to 20 characters but to a more reasonable limit, like 100 characters or so.

Does it give alternative to sudo -e (sudoedit) too?

Just a bit of complaint: if you need to highlight how important it is to make a backup or set up automatic backups, tell the users how to do that or at least lead them to a page which explains how.

When I install a new software, sure I don't start auditing the souce code but the developement of a software is a process and I trust that all the contributors and distributors have eyes on it and know what changes a release contains. It's very hard to sneak in shenanigans into popular repositories. And an opensource software can quickly lose the trust of the community and get replaced if it makes bad turns. In non-free softwares I don't have this assurance.

Sodium-ion batteries are already a thing and they look very promising. A few more years and we might not need precious metals for batteries anymore.

Not sure about the opi method but I installed an opensuse tw recently with same nvidia/ryzen config and everything works just fine.

Enabled nvidia and packman essentials in yast and replaced the system packages. That's option 3 here.

If you are the one installing the distro, it probably doesn't matter that you have to copy-paste some commands to install proprietary codes because it's a one time thing. In my experience, the bigger problem usually is not the first time setup but the maintenance. In case of Fedora they would have to upgrade it every 6 months. That's why I usually suggest LTS or something rolling but stabe distro like OpenSUSE Thumbleweed.
