I think it has been shown that certain plastic softeners (e.g. phatalates) cause fertility issues, some of that might be included in microplastics but plastic itself I have not seen anything (And these specific softeners can be banned and are already mostly banned in the EU).

Honestly fedora has been the most stable distro I ever used, whats broken about it?

Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?

Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative

I genuinely dont see the reason for a windows tablet without a stylus. Note-taking is nice with a stylus but for just holding it and watching videos or browsing a surface is honestly too unwieldly and the windows touch interface is also not great.

I said that any calculation in electrodynamics CAN be done without imaginary numbers, I never said that it would be the most common or convenient way of doing things.

If you use a different form of solution to maxwells equations, electrical impedance can totally be expressed as just another real property. Fourier transform also is not necessary to solve maxwells equations or any other physical systems. It just might make it significantly easier and more convenient.

Obviously imaginary numbers existed and where used way before quantum mechanics was a thing but they werent technically necessary in physics because they never appeared in the equations of fundamental theories (Maxwells equations, general relativity, newtonian mechanics)

Also, all the arguments for market economies being useful and the typical supply/demand arguments completely break down for a product which is infinitely duplicatable for free

Yes

In my experience most problems with linux are at the intermediate level, i.e. things like setting up university/work vpn, installing games (with wine), getting used to different applications for office stuff. This is all stuff that many people have to do that can be hard to achieve if you only have guides for windows/mac

The message UI of K9 was changed and I think the app already implemented the auto-setup of accounts from thunderbird, otherwise its still the same app

its p2p download from other users, if you want to share your library you should probably use a VPN. You dont have to share your library but its kind of frowned upon to not do it.

Some stuff that wasn't mentioned yet and should be on either fdroid or izzy:

• Muzei (wallpaper switcher)

• Earth view for Muzei

• Retro Music

• Simple Time Tracker (used to use it to track my work hours)

• Energize (most feature-packed food tracker on fdroid)

• GymRoutines (Workout tracker)

• Material Files (file manager + seeing network shares)

• Wireguard (allows me to connect to my local network and see my NAS in material files)

• MJ Pdf (mostly because its simple but has printing and text copying)
