I think there's an out of tree kernel for the SE. You could give PostmarketOS a shot if you have a lot of patience.

I'm glad for nano users because the popularity of their editor probably won't ever mean stuff that won't work with mine.

The iPhone changed nothing and has, infact, been holding mobile computing captive in the 2007 era. Modern hardware is more than powerful enough to run decent desktop OSes without all the crap that Apple and Google insist is necessary on a p

Also legal citizenship/visas are a real crapshoot in the US due to the extreme (and by extreme I mean it sounds like hyperbole and would be hilarious if it weren't people's lives getting screwed around with) incompetence, slo

You can have a folder that's g+rwx and just give everyone different accounts for things like git. That's the reason these things exist.
