Mainly because, "well-supported hardware", could change at any time. It felt better to me to attempt a clean break.

Yeah it is basically the website wrapped in an app. Having it as an app makes it easier to launch, switch to (Alt-Tab), it shows up in the task list, can be pinned to one or all workspaces, this kind of thing.

I used LastPass for a couple of years and would definitely recommend Enpass over it. You get native apps and can choose how it will sync if at all instead of all your passwords being stored on LastPass's servers.

I tried Linuxbrew but didn't stick with it for exactly the reason you point out: > However it turns out Linuxbrew manages it’s own version of all the packages it tracks (makes sense I guess). This end up duplicating many of the pack

Wow that looks great, could have saved myself some €€€. Fabrizio has done an amazing job with Pragmata Pro though, so happy to support his efforts.

I tried that and it doesn't look right because the elementary theme hasn't been updated for GTK 3.20/22. It only looks right on GTK 3.18.

I tried it on my Arch install. I know it's highly themeable but the default theme was not at all minimal and I wasn't a fan.

Last I checked KDE was still working on HiDPI support. Has that changed? What plasma based distribution would you recommend?

Ideally I'd only need a single computer and there are goals like being about view/edit the source code of my OS/apps that Windows doesn't tick. Still as mentioned in other comments I'm getting a Windows 2-in-1 later

Yeah I touch type. The whole idea of encouraging people to look at their keyboard seems completely off.

Good point. I actually paused and tried to come up with something better when I was proofreading the post but failed to do so. I'll keep it mind for future posts.

Reading Dave's ( https://daverupert.com/tag/davegoeswindows ) experience switching to Windows turned me off considering it as an option. However I've ordered an Eve V so will try it out when that comes later in

This is a solution I will test out later in the year. I like the idea of a 2-in-1 computer and I've ordered a http://eve-tech.com . I'll certainly be trying out the VM on Windows option when it comes.

Yes I suspect the keyboard shortcuts will bother me too. One of the things I like about Elementary is that there are a bunch of things bound to Command out of the box. They also refer to it as ⌘, which has a nice familiarity about it.

The keyboard integration in Pantheon seems pretty comparable to GNOME. I just finished importing my 1Password data into https://www.enpass.io looks like it might turn out to be a good option.

I liked the watchOS 3 improvements the best. It was clear that Apple had listened to the complaints from Apple Watch owners and took meaningful measures to attempt to rectify them. For example, entirely changing the function of the side but
