If you gotta do it, you gotta do it.
It is my conviction that very few should go down the Arch route. If you want to sysadmin Linux or learn how to do so, fine. But if you want to do something else with your computer I'd strongly recommend looking into one of the https://universal-blue.org images (I use https://getaurora.dev btw).
These are based on atomic Fedora and my experience is that they offer extreme stability while still staying on the edge of development. Could we call it NixOS for mere mortals? Probably not if you ask the Nix peeps. :)
I basically did the same with Tumbleweed for a couple of years. Can't stand the point release distros. Lagging behind a year or two when it comes to the DE is not something I fancy. Never liked Tumbleweed much though. Felt very unpolished when using Plasma.
> The blind spot then is CLI apps and tooling.
I can really recommend homebrew. Works well. apt is for the system, homebrew is for user facing CLI apps. :)
The atomic distro approach works a lot better for me. Would not go back to a "normal" distro from https://getaurora.dev.
Can recommend Bazzite, Bluefin and Aurora which are derived from Atomic Fedora but come with niceties like distrobox and NVIDIA drivers (if you need them).
This is a major reason I ended up with https://getaurora.dev. I layer a few things, but it comes with bells and whistles (like NVIDIA drivers, if you need that).
I can't see myself going back to a "normal" distro. I don't want to spend time cosplaying a sysadmin, I have things to do on my computer.
I love to see when a page by posted just by looking at the URL. It also avoids naming collisions. For a static site, not rendered from a db, I wouldn't want to store every post ever written in one dir either. How well does that scale? Yeah, you can probably store 100K files in dir, but it will become unwieldy and slow to load when browsing a lot sooner. Just a dir per year probably solve any such problem.
I'd like to recommend a highly underappreciated single binary rewrite of Jekyll in Go: https://github.com/osteele/gojekyll
Regarding the gpx support... Don't want to lead you astray, but, have you seen https://www.sethoscope.net/heatmap/?
Here's an even greater video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAUpxN-EIgU&t=4m24s
The risk of getting a disease is apparently higher if you handle them that way, essentially making it their revenge.
Came here to write exactly that. Those who design those bikes clearly don't know a thing about bicycle design. Want to use them for pedaling? Say hi to knee problems and inefficient pedaling!
Transcoded (ouch) or just remuxed to a mov container? Have to investigate.
I recommend putting proprietary Play Store apps grabbed with Aurora Store in the work profile with Shelter[5].

I’ve used it as my only package manager on Linux for a few years and I love it.
How about a single image? I suppose a lot of people (visitors and webmasters) like to have an image or two on the page.
Same in Sweden. The U.S. has one of the broadest and most flexible fair use laws.
In Sweden we have "citaträtten" (the right to quote). It only applies to text and it is usually said that you can't quote more than 20% of the original text.
Wouldn't want to forget Meta which also has consumer product DNA. They literally championed the act of making the consumer the product.
Well, turmeric certainly has a history of “contamination”[1].
