Hmm, how to react to that? “Go through his brain and look for loose thoughts.”? (Sounds like Legilimency from Harry Potter world)

I was never distro-hopping much. Switched from Debian only when I got a job with Red Hat, and then switched to openSUSE when I switched to SUSE. I have actually switched recently to my own semi-distro https://sr.ht/~mcepl/moldavite/ (basically MicroOS with sway).

Eh? Both pandoc and rst2epub can generate eBooks. All those lightweight markup languages are especially awesome for converting into various output formats.

I think you have arguments about MicroOS (or Silberblue, which I know less about, and possibly Nix, which I know nothing about, and it seems to me it is not in the same group) wrong. Take a look at this https://youtu.be/lKYLF1tA4Ik.

Not vim necessarily, but I would really suggest thinking about a plain text editor of your choice and some of those lightweight markup languages (Markdown itself, reStructuredText, ASCIIDoc … I prefer rST, but they are mostly the same). Exactly because it allows me to concentrate on the content and ignore formatting. Besides, formatting, do you write for print or as everybody else these days for HTML? Why do you need a large word processor which is build primarily for preparing documents for print? Every serious text editor has some kind of plugins with spellcheckers, grammar checkers, dictionaries, etc.

Please, don't use subjects like "I love this". Please.
