Inkscape is good for making icons, assuming you want vector icons.

I would use exFAT for a shared data drive. Just don’t use it for programs since it lacks unix file permission support.
Firefox on android supports addons, so you can install uBlock on it too. If you use an apple device, you are limited to DNS based ad blocking, which doesn’t help with youtube.
I’m surprised more people aren’t using uBlock Origin. It’s an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.
That’s why it’s a good idea to take a btrfs snapshot before updating or changing things. Snapshots are almost instant and sure save a lot of work if you break something.
You can get rid of the certificate errors by adding your CA to Firefox. Just make sure you keep the private key secure.
Set browser.fixup.fallback-to-https
to false
to stop Firefox from trying https if http doesn’t work.
If you want rechargeable batteries, just put some eneloop batteries (or some of the cheaper, rebranded ones) in the remote. They are not like the old NiMH batteries, they hold a charge for a years.
I certainly don’t want a remote that I have to throw out in a few years because the non-replaceable lithium battery wore out.
The music can be copied to new hard drives without any loss in quality, so why are they leaving their only copy on 30 year old hard drives?
BSD works great on my firewall, but I’m certainly not going to run it on my desktop. The hardware and software support just isn’t there yet.
The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴☠️
Streaming sites are the source of the TV torrents until the season is over and the bluray is released.
AV1 is really only practical for content that has a high quality source like a bluray release. Most streaming sites aren’t using AV1 yet, so anything from them would have to be transcoded. Transcoding a low bitrate source to another format will cause a loss in quality. It’s not really worth it unless you want really small files to watch on your phone.
AV1 hardware acceleration is becoming fairly common, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the streaming sites start switching to it soon.
Donate to FOSS developers if you find the software useful, but don’t give a cent to big tech companies.
The SD card probably crapped out because someone didn’t know how to make it read only.
Modern games are not going to run well. Look for a Thinkpad with a Thunderbolt 3 port (make sure it actually has 4 PCIe lanes, some only have 2) and use an eGPU. Retro games will run fine on integrated graphics though.
I would just print it, fill it out by hand and scan it. Make them do the extra work if they send a PDF that doesn’t work in your software.
That’s what happens when you don’t keep windows locked inside a virtual machine.
You can put a big hard drive in an external enclosure and use it for offline backups. There is no point in paying for cloud storage for something you can just download again if needed. Save the cloud storage for backing up non-replaceable data.
Arch is about as minimal as you can get. You won’t even have a text editor if you don’t specifically install one. You won’t be able to connect to the internet to install that text editor if you don’t install the software to configure the network connection either. I made that mistake the first time I installed Arch.
That would likely get the user and the torrent client banned from the private tracker.
