I parboil my rice for 5 mins and then wash them before cooking after reading a UK guide that said it might reduce arsenic and heavy metals.

Sorry to not really answer your question, but I'm just curious what distros and kernel combinations you've tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don't support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I've heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it's an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I've seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn't on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it's really not supported.

To answer your question a bit. I've honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don't even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don't suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

I've lost interest in all cars made after 2014, what with the surveillance and all.

Children are not dumb. Talk to them and answer their questions honestly in a way that won't make them more worried. Talk through any plans you think they should be aware of. And most importantly, listen to them, a child that feels safe and secure with their caregivers will tell them what's bothering them at random times, like during play.

If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

I'd say use it would be better to make and decorate paper mache eggs so as to not add to the plastic demand. Also it sounds more fun to make with kids.

I need to figure out how to do the SSD mod on Linux since having a drive that's too fast will sometimes crash the game and I got no HDDs anymore.

Yes two drives is much better than using the same drive to dual boot. However be aware that windows update will at some point break the Linux install even if installed on a second drive. There's a few steps you can take to avoid this like making sure the boot partition and booy manager ate both on the Linux only drive but Microsoft messing something up is an inevitability.

If on a laptop with only one drive, you could boot to a USB drive or USB external enclosure for an SSD.

Ideally, you should back up all data to an external drive which is only plugged in during backups (unplug when installing another os). I would even recommend windows users booting into clonezilla and cloning their windows drive as it is really easy to overwrite or format the wrong drive.

All good points man.
