I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were... seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it's worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.
Noita!
Also the Dead Cells DLCs.
Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.
However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware "difficulties" with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won't encounter driver issues.
(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the "Firsttime Linux Experience" if you do encounter them...)
Matrix does have stickers
As others have said, you can completely disable the stock launcher through ADB commands. At that point, if you hit home, you'll be asked which app to perform that action with. Select your launcher, click "Always", and done.
Dang that's impressive
Or disappointing, Idk
Vikunja seems to check all your boxes
You can even just do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
It somehow feels... Wrong, but it just works.
Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I'll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don't brick the device.
The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting... :D
Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.
