@lmgenealogy #rclone has some support for #protondrive. Sadly someone will need to open a shell to get it working, but I use rclone mount (cache mode full) a lot for dealing with remote files.
For distro, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora are all solid for general use and fairly beginner friendly.

Added isso comments to my blog at last! Took about half a day of work to get everything sorted, so not so bad.
Happy because I can avoid paying Disqus, ads, third party tracking, etc.

Just wanted to shout out isso for being lightning fast in responding to my small PR here.
Also, good example PR to show contributing to FOSS doesn't have to be big or dramatic to be useful and get merged 🙂

#slax is a fun portable #linux distro. Worth trying out if you want a distro you can throw on a USB drive and run on any PC (with an unsecured BIOS). They used to be #slackware based but now they use #debian, which makes them a bit more accessible for casuals like me.

In a bitterly predictable twist, things didn't work out with #Wayland because of #Nvidia and #wlroots compatibility issues.
I also wanted to be able to switch tiling and floating layouts at will, so #i3 (my love) ended up being a no serve.
I settled on the deeply unpopular combination of #lxqt and cortile.
Maybe eventually I switch to something like AwesomeWM but for now this seems good.
