Oh, I never heard of this one before, it certainly meets the criteria, I read the documentation to understand it more

yes, the developer seem very opinionated :|

Idk if FDE is enough, what if the attacker can modify the boot code to capture the decryption keys and other stored passwords ? as far as I know this is exactly what secure boot protects against, it checks the validity of the boot code using the TPM chip, if it's already there, why don't most distros use it ? instead you'll see that secure boot is greyed out in the Bios ( which means it's not supported )

and yes, I did lock down the Bios too, with a different password

Edit: I'll check EndevourOS documentation, Mint is cool but it doesn't adobt newer standards or newer kernels ( newer kernels are just much more secure )

Storyboarder ( but I haven't tried it yet ) it seems geared towards 2D animators

Sketchup is paid software, the web version is free but extremely limited

I have used Sketchup for more than 4 years, and after looking around for Alternatives to use on Linux, the only thing that can do the job is Blender, it's not just for animations and 3D printing, in fact blender can do anything you can imagine, if not by itself, then by the addition of addons

Out of the box, Blender doesn't behave like Sketchup, but it can do so by enabling some preinstalled addons ( like Archimech, Measure it, Precision Drawing Tools, Stored Views, Auto Mirror.. Etc ), also there are free and paid addons on the Blender Market

For modeling Blender is waaay more powerful than Sketchup ( but SU is much more simpler and I find myself using Addons - in SU - for the stuff I can do in Vanilla Blender directly )

For Printing: they both suck ( in a paper printing use case ), if you wanna print in Blender you'll need to export to a 3rd party program like Inkscape or LibreCAD, or use an addon

Sketchup printing is just painful, save a view, save the file, fire up Layout, import view, then print...like why ?!!

Piped and Libretube stopped working for me, they're requiring sign up now, it's sad :(

One of the best cases for building a versatile tool, is accessibility to less privileged populations, for example people who can't efford to have a reliable Internet because of their shady ISPs, they need a browser that renders web content as fast as possible, and also because they can't afford to download apps due to slow internet speeds, Flatpaks could take gigabyte of HDD space and you have to update them later, which is painful in other parts of the world

Even if the user had a reliable Internet and solid hardware, maybe they're a security minded individual, and want to keep their app installs to a minimum. To them many apps are considered bloat and that's dangerous.

I think the difficulty lies in wisely choosing what features to include, before your users start asking : hey, do we really need that ? Or : who uses that ?

that's why listening to feedback is so important
