I’ve had those similar issues with Wayland on previous distros as well. I think Bazzite was the first distro so far for me that worked fully out of the box with Wayland.
I think the browser issues are just Firefox, I suspect it isn’t playing nicely with Wayland or they haven’t figured it out, as tabs aren’t draggable, but there’s a move tab menu choice. Also right click doesn’t work right, I forgot to mention that, right clicking on a link opens in a new tab and switches you to it, even if’n you don’t have that on. As to the keyboard, the layouts section is completely missing in Cinnamon’s keyboard menu, and some research online came back that there’s no way to change the layout, apparently it was overlooked by the Wayland project.
I was using Wayland on Tumbleweed on my laptop and desktop PC. I had to switch back to X on the desktop, which uses an NVIDIA card, because Firefox windows kept doing this weird flashing. Pretty much everything else worked OK but Firefox was unusable.
It became less slow and I think they considered implementing human verification for new packages but idk if they did.
Have they made any changes in their management that may make sure there won’t be another Amazon search thing?
Even if management changes are done, it’s as easy to revert them. This one is purely a matter of trust.
Is it best to use the default desktop on Ubuntu? I would recommend Kubuntu to them, all else being equal, but don’t know if maybe the default one is better integrated.
I think the default Ubuntu has the best integration in terms of theming and stuff but not having it is absolutely not a problem. I don’t remember the flavours being less user friendly or anything.
Ok, good. If it was a regular thing, I was gonna recommend going to see a gastroenterologist, but obviously, I have no real idea of why it hurts when both happens at the same time
The pixel 8 was exciting because it was the 1st android smartphone which broke the usual 5 years of update cycle and jumped to 7 years. Making other OEMs like Samsung and OnePlus to play catchup.
Pixel 9 appears like a minor improvement in comparison. Hopefully, the SOC provides improved battery life due to better modem, and modern ARM cortex cores.

The Pixel 8 also has MTE support.
Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are ARMv9 devices supporting hardware memory tagging…Hardware memory tagging is going to provide a massive increase to protection against remote exploitation for GrapheneOS users. It’s the biggest security feature we’ll be shipping since we started in 2014.
If it's a new book and one that I think other people may be interested in borrowing, I'll get the hardcover for the extra protection.
However, there's a used paperback store down the street from me that has a whole bunch of heavily used paperbacks for like $1 each, and those have definitely been dominating my collection lately. Sometimes I'll just pick up a dozen of them. That little store is one of those treasure troves of unexpected things, even though when you find one of those treasures, you might need to flip the pages carefully to prevent it from falling apart.
In my experience, online websites can help find a distro with minimal support, but they’re quickly out of date. Best way I’ve found is to flash a live USB, boot, and check if all hardware is recognised.
Stuff like Linux-hardware and Arch Wiki’s hardware support pages are a nice place to start, but if the last update was a while back you may find your hardware to be supported better than online documentation may suggest.
I recommend the style of crutches that don’t go to your armpit, forearm crutches. I was on crutches for months a few years back and that was much more comfortable for me at least.
Fun fact: even “regular style” crutches are not actually supposed to rest in your armpits! You are supposed to hold onto the arm portion and use them similarly to the above crutches. When we adjusted that for the spouse, we had to shorten the crutches by like 2-3 inches and he said it was WAY more comfortable.
There are some videos on YouTube by physiotherapists etc that were supremely helpful - recommend giving them a quick watch and readjusting your crutches.

you aren’t suggesting that it’s people, that are the problem, are you?
clearly it’s only platforms that cause issues. all internet users are divine entities of pure logic and infinite empathy before they are corrupted by the unholy sins of the platform
When I used Arch I updated once and it removed the running kernel and its modules. So when I plugged in a webcam it didn’t work, since the module was gone.
Not a catastrophe, but it was an off-putting user experience coming from Debian. Arch felt more like a desktop OS, Debian feels more like a server OS to me (updates generally warn/confirm when you need to restart services or the machine).
To each their own! Having more up to date stuff was a nice perk of running Arch, certainly.
Oh I love Debian on the desktop! More a comment on the feeling of the OS being very concerned about downtime and stability, with minimal “surprises.” Not a bad thing at all!
