I would look at OpenSUSE and try whichever flavor meets your needs. It's more niche than Ubuntu but on vanilla installation is easily as user-friendly. The only downside is that if you start messing with stuff, tutorials are not written with SUSE/zypper in mind as often.

I've been running Tumbleweed with Nvidia drivers for about 6 months and have had basically no issues. Switch between X11Plasma/KDE when I just need something direct, and Wayland/Hyprland when I want to mess about and I've not had to blow everything away yet.

Or for a cocktail!

Sounds like brunch to me

Why limit it? If you're actively making money, or you are a licensed business attempting to do so, people actively helping you build business deserve to be compensated. If a developer just happened to live in your area and said "I could make your business better by making this thing for you," would they be worth hiring? What's the saying, socialize the resources, privatize the profits? Size << Intent

Yeah, trying a Snapper restore since I'm out of things I know to look at, but that appears to be the next step. Thanks for the info on the Nvidia settings, is that in some config file?

Yo where can I get that split keyboard and is it QMK?

Ah, I misunderstood you. Thank you for the clarification

What tech knowledge do you need to use Etsy?

Goblin Angel!

Do we have a RemindMe bot yet? I'll do my best to remember!

So what was the ratio of "eliminate" to "clean up"? Looks like a lot less plugged in than in the before.

Nuphy seems to be a well liked low profile keyboard manufacturer. They have several models out now so there's likely something that fits your needs. Not sure if they have ISO layouts though. If that's not an issue, you can always go full minimalism with a Corner or something similar.
