Music discovery is the primary reason why I'm still using Spotify even though I keep offline copies of albums I like. Spotify's algorithm for music recommendation isn't great but it's not terrible either and I've found several albums and songs so far that I really like so I guess it's worth it.

Not only is UPnP a security risk, it'll work only if a user has an IP that can expose ports. IPv4 addresses are becoming rarer on home networks and CGNAT connections can't expose ports even if one turns on UPnP.

Make sure that the apps you're using are running natively on Wayland and not on XWayland. You can use an application like xeyes to confirm this. But if you still feel that scaling makes things relatively blurry or laggy, you're not alone. Wayland doesn't really have fractional scaling, at least not yet. The fractional-scale-v1 protocol has been merged in most Wayland compositors but hasn't been released in a stable tag yet. KDE6 should bring that improvement.

Sure, yeah, taking on the Pixel without specifying the number of years of OS and feature updates and without GrapheneOS support. Pretty good title for the post

There isn’t one. Maybe Fairphone 5 but even with custom ROMs, running Play Services as a sandboxed user app isn’t possible. And even vanilla iPhones can’t be as privacy oriented as GrapheneOS is.

It would be a default on almost every distro that follows XDG specifications to have stuff like Downloads, Pictures, Videos in the $HOME folder. One of the first things I do as part of an installation is to modify ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and set a specific folder, say /data/downloads or ~/downloads, for every XDG base directory.
