Intel is ruining Intel.

The upgrade process on Kinoite (KDE Atomic) was extremely fast and smooth. Fedora has always been among the most reliable when it comes to upgrades in my experience.

Voyager is definitely the most polished and great for those who used Apollo for Reddit. It is also very actively developed. For the Android users who do not mind the iOS aesthetic, Voyager is one of the few Lemmy clients on F-Droid.

Thunder is also a great option. I personally prefer its UX more than Voyager, but it is not quite as polished.

A GitHub issue was opened for Syncthing-Fork, so it will be worth watching that to know whether it will continue to be supported.

That is only an option on the Pro version. Most computers come with Home.

Kobo

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.

Can I store a passkey in a platform agnostic way?

Yes, if you use a platform agnostic password manager that supports passkeys such as Bitwarden.

Bitwarden. It is open source, reliable, easy to use, and compatible with everything. The free version has nearly everything, but I have the paid version to support development because $10 per year is very reasonable.

I do regularly export my password vault to KeePassXC as my backup though.

Thank you. I am not sure how that only ended up on that link.

Firefox and Brave Search

This does not apply to the server. Only the client app is open source. The server is proprietary.

They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.

Bitwarden is a means of saving some money and also not putting all your eggs in one basket, so it kind of is an answer to your question.

As others have said, no matter what you use, make sure you have regular backups.

Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

Miracast and Chromecast are different. Miracast is the open standard while Chromecast is Google’s proprietary casting protocol.

Roku supports both Miracast and AirPlay, but I don’t think it supports Chromecast.

KeePass password vault

Google has done price increases the last 2 or 3 years, so they no longer have a price advantage. Samsung also has the same 7 year support window.
