I have ~/git for fit repos, and a dedicated ~/git/ext for repos I do not own, but have locally cloned for various reasons.
Sounds like dogs barking at/with each other in the night back when I was growing up. You'd hear the occasional how-how-hoooooww from one of them, and others would join in. Wolf'ish in some ways. The city I grew up in was much less crowded back then.
Now: I guess self driving cars fill in the void left by dogs not barking at each other anymore.

Linux Mint Debian Edition would be a pretty solid, pre-customized distribution.
I've had great experiences with Linux on Lenovo over the years: would be my first recommendation.
I currently use a Dell Inspiron, while it's works great, I had to do some extra work occasionally. I love that I can get fingerprint login with it on Linux though.
Try running it from the command line with code --disable-gpu.
If that works, you can update the desktop shortcut files (exec section) with the same added parameter.
I recently ran into something similar (opensuse slowroll//kde)
Ref: stackoverflow/Google for the --disable-gpu argument, the desktop file editing - I did for convenience.
Here's how you can find . desktop files

Wow, that's so messed up: I didn't know HP did that.. I think it might just be a matter of time before others follow suit.
Sounds very Wireshark worthy!
That would be cool.
Here's my new setup that might not work for everyone, but I'd recommend thinking about if you're able to.
-
Network printers are blocked from Internet by my router. They have static IP addresses allocated (permanent DHCP leases) for convenience.
-
I have some Canon laser printers. I don't want to install Canon software across my devices, so I setup a cups print server (lxc container) where I installed the software.
-
I setup and shared the printers (local network only), made them discoverable.
-
I use the CUPS web GUI over ssh tunnel if I need to check on job queues and do maintenance/admin tasks (don't usually have to).
Clients immediately find the printers on the server, no driver required.
As a bonus, I made the margins 0 on the CUPS ppd on the server so that I get to print without margins when so desired (Canon has fixed minimum margins otherwise).
The one caveat is that the Canon drivers don't work on raspberry pi (arm), so while I have a to-do to get around that by using a virtualization layer, you need a separate Intel/AMD machine for the print server if your printer doesn't support ARM.
I recently ran across SpiralLinux - GitHub page, and found the concept of how the maintainer is packaging it very cool.
The maintainer has been maintaining Gecko Linux for a while now - it has the same underlying concept.
The gist is - you're basically installing Debian, but with customizations that the maintainer(s) thought would be very helpful. Basically - better out of the box experience for new users, but also less work to do even for experienced users, and it comes with different download flavors - Gnome, Plasma, XFCE, Mate, etc.
Bit more detail by the maintainer in this Reddit comment:
Exactly. It's like I went over to your house and installed and configured Debian on your computer, and then you kicked me out of your house as soon as I finished. ;-) The installed system no longer has any connection whatsoever with me or the SpiralLinux project, which is good because you wouldn't want your entire system to depend on a random single developer maintaining it.
(original Reddit comment has more details).
I thought this was pretty cool. I'm still trying to read up online on trying to find how the package lists are maintained, etc., and I might be interested in contributing if I'm able to in the future.
Just wanted to share!
Ubuntu uses snaps, which I've found sluggish on older ide hard drives. To be honest, even flatpaks are very slow for these in my experience.
I think you might be better off with opensuse tumbleweed.
Novelty recommendation besides tumbleweed: antix.
While I haven't used antix except out of curiosity in a virtual machine, they are lightweight, but they have a hard stance against systemd.
