The data point in Iceland about a military base being located here is not correct anymore. There used to be a base at/around Keflavík International Airport, built in WW2 but closed in 2006. Iceland is part of NATO though so there are usually one or two jets from NATO at the airport doing their things. But there's no base there anymore.

Most of the base has been turned into a village on its own, a movie studio, concert venue, university, etc...

I see others have written a large amount of information so I'll just stick with a short bulletlist of the main go to distros IMHO. (replace Gnome suggestions with XFCE for example if you want more lightweight and classic OS, but not optimized for touch)

  • Fedora (with Gnome)
  • Manjaro (with Gnome)
  • Ubuntu
  • Elementary OS

That's exactly the reason why I switched to Gnome. If someone would give me an axe and tell me to chop down a tree in 6 hours I would spend 18 hours sharpening the axe and forget about the tree. Whenever I try KDE, XFCE and others I will spend days adjusting things to my liking while on Gnome I just start working. Sometimes something bothers me on Gnome and I will either just install an extension, or realize it's impossible to adjust it and I just go back to work.

I was a huge user of LittleSnitch on Mac back in the days so this makes me very happy

wow. TextAdept sounds way cooler than I initially thought. And I thought it was pretty awesome to begin with.

Thank you for this writeup.

Oh I actually tried out Textadept a year ago or so and was really interested. Haven't gotten time to dive more into it but something about it fascinates me. Do you mind telling me more how you use it? and for what? <3

As an Icelander (abundance of green electricity) it blew my mind when I went to Belgium and saw gas stoves and just gas everything everywhere. I always pictured gas stoves as something old fashioned or for camping.

That's really cool. Any idea if this will be available on fdroid or on a 3rd party repo?
