I'd be interested to hear what you are using. Obviously the web browsers are a big requirement. ...but I've had trouble with the defaults for almost everything I've tried: xterm, libreoffice, browsers. Under KDE the menus are

The UNIX Haters Handbook was funny at the time but doesn't make much sense these days unless you understand all the rival hacker groups and cultures that were largely eventually unified under "Free Software" and, later, &quot

You'd have to self impose exile. You are required to enter the US on your US passport if you have one. If you wanted to go back (say to the funeral of a friend, or something equally important) then they could detain you until you paid
