This isn’t an important choice. If you don’t like the distro or you are having issues, it’s like 10 minutes to switch to a different one.
That being said, I would not recommend Ubuntu for a variety of reasons. CachyOS is a great option, but there are others. Just try it, if you have issues or don’t like it, try something else.

CachyOS is the most stable distro I’ve ever used. It’s been like 20 months or so, and I’ve had exactly a single issue, which resolved itself in like 3 days (kde bug that got fixed quickly and wasn’t a big deal either). I have zero problems with only having outdated software in the repo, which is something I can’t say about any other distro I’ve tried. It’s the ONLY one where that’s the case (obviously would apply to base arch as well).
I have no idea what kind of problems people keep having that leads them to calling it “unstable”. I certainly haven’t experienced this at all.
Usually shorter. The better is the first thing to wear out, even if it’s not used much. But it often can be replaced, even if the manufacturer doesn’t officially support replacement.
Ignoring that, they are still built more compact, which makes some components more prone to failure (in particular cooling). But they can still last a decade+ if taken care of and/or repaired.
By the way just because the official limit for HDMI is 10m, that doesn’t mean that a longer cable can’t work. I’ve been running a projector for decades, which was connected with a15m cable for literal decades. It might work, it might not, you’ll know when you try.
Usually the link either works or it doesn’t. The picture doesn’t get bad. It’s a digital signal, it either gets decoded correctly or not. In rare edge cases you might get a signal to drop occasionally though if it’s too long.
Check the commit history. Claude is part of basically every commit that I saw for multiple pages, I didn’t check further.
ReVanced is a FOSS project, including the patches.
Use the normal YouTube app, and patch it with reVanced (on your phone). Doesn’t directly support peer tube, but it’s an ad free experience that you can tailor to your needs (including sponsor block and more).
Long-term cause it has at this point been around for actual decades.
Necessary from a legal point of view, not technical. Or regulatory maybe.
Fair point, but the actual use is still nonsensical, even if required by rules of insurance policies. That makes it necessary, not “sensical”.
If you’re gonna use an overlay network like Tailscale I would highly recommend also taking a look at netbird. Similar concept, but fully self hostable if the need arises (but not recommended unless you have a specific need).
I appreciate that they are trying to be less bad. But as long as heroic (legendary) exists, I have zero reason to ever use this. I’d much rather have a launcher for 3 platforms than 3 launchers. Is also much more feature rich for me on Linux, but even on Windows that was already the case years ago.
I’ve also read that it’s supposed to be fully or mostly vibe coded, which kinda explains the issue you’re seeing…
There isn’t one. That’s exactly the point. The original article had issues with vendor-specific passkeys (Google, Apple) that essentially are only accessible through their ecosystem.
But that’s exactly the problem. Those that were the target audience for the article do not have well managed passwords. For them the passkeys arguably do increase security, while having a bit more “lock-in”.
For those that have well managed passwords (like probably most in this community), they are perfectly fine to use because they don’t have lock-in either. I have full control over my used passkeys.
Basically you’re not getting the “normies” to use proper password management, and for them they do provide additional security and convenience. They can always add more passkeys on different vendors, you’re not limited to just 1 per service. Yes, adding them is a hassle, but so it’s managing passwords and following higher security standards in general.
My various servers, firewall and nas are relatively power optimized. Everything including switches (most with some 10g ports) and access points is 160 W or so combined. I can’t give you monthly usage, as I’ve got solar+battery so it’s frequently just 0 kWh for some days. It’s also rather hard to separate from the other power usage in the house when solar doesn’t fit cover it.
GURPS would like a word.

It can’t. But somehow the dev hasn’t noticed I guess?
Just for completeness sake: I’m also on Nvidia (semi recent, rtx 3080), and it’s been fine. I do man it when I say “everything just works”, I don’t have to do or fix anything.
