Yep, another example of boots theory

Linus himself sees his own behavior as problematic and has put significant work toward changing it. Call it whatever you want, I guess, but just because it doesn't result in physical bruises doesn't mean it's not problematic.

There's some controversy around him--he has a history of anger issues and it's impacted his work. But his contributions to the open source community are practically unquantifiable.

Overall, I'm incredibly grateful for him and his work, but still hope that he continues to work on his personal issues and becomes his best self.

I don't understand how "enforcing" the right to haggle would even work, other than generally support a free market. Right now, you absolutely can go into a pharmacy and haggle. They'll most likely be firm on their price and you'll have wasted your time and theirs (and the time of anyone behind you).

🫥 Their "repository" is a OneDrive folder copied from the last guy's laptop

This is more nitpicking. Yes, there's a difference between partition and disk. But if we want to get technical, it's not disk encryption unless you're using a HDD. SSDs don't have disks.

At the end of the day, FDE would generally imply that all partitions with user data on them are encrypted. So it would generally include root and home partitions, and generally not include the boot partition, and would likely include partitions like /var and /opt, though not necessarily.

To add to the other comments: it's "full-disk" to distinguish it from "per-file" encryption. And "full-partition" didn't catch on, probably because functionally an unencrypted boot partition makes little practical difference.

I feel like they missed the opportunity to call it "the Boiler"

I've been daily driving CachyOS for a while now. It's fast, and I like the rolling release model. It pretty much worked with my 4070 out of the box I believe, I don't think I had to do anything special there. I started with Cinnamon as my DE, but eventually moved to Gnome (Cinnamon still uses X11 I believe, and there were things that just worked better with Wayland, and with a handful of extensions, I can get it to look the way I like).

That being said, I wouldn't recommend it to people less comfortable with Linux. CachyOS has its own repositories (which is the whole idea, the software is compiled specifically for more modern hardware), but it can sometimes be confusing when choosing packages to install. The wiki is pretty helpful though, especially with getting games up and running.

Surely you don't think the insomnia could have anything to do with it?

That's it.
