But why?

That depends for me on the height of the z-hop. Too much and the upward motion of the hop will pull filament out of the nozzle and worsen stringing. But that doesn't happen to me when hopping a fraction of the layer height, then it helps to not deposit a blob along the way
For me it would be open-ness and through that privacy. The dream device would be some mobile convertible with the repairibility of framework, that is completely free and open source hardware and software. Like powered by risc-v, with some future open gpu, and every (storage-/keyboard-/touchpad-/touchscreen-/battery-/network-/wifi-/ etc) controller on it being risc-v and running open firmware as well. Just such that for every byte being processed in this device you could pin down the piece of circuit and line of code that makes it so. In terms of linux some future version of gnome on a immutable distro with flatpaks that have very tied down permissions would be a nice future to me.
And I think overall many aspects of this are moving in that direction. The biggest roadblock is probably a truly open gpu, and then highly integrated controllers like for storage.
It takes time, as it all is under heavy development. Just since very recently there are risc v sbc available that can run linux - before it was pretty much microcontrollers only. Be patient :)
Choose a font and size, then do screenshots of the same word on kde and gnome. Then open gimp, put each screenshot in a layer, align them and make it show the difference. Then you objectively know if and how they're different
Cold bed can be a problem sometimes due to the bed warping with temperature. I myself always probe with the bed at printing temperature for this reason
How do you handle residual filament on the nozzle from previous prints? Or if you heat it up to get to nozzle itself to touch the bed, do you get dabs of plastic distributed around your bed?
Ohhh yesss, I've been scratching a nostalgia itch recently too with turbo, tilde and mc. I'll absolutely try these, looks awesome! Maybe some fitting hardware would be cool too, like finally getting something with risc-v, a nice clickety-clacky keyboard and an epaper screen...
We recently moved away from Trello and settled on GitLab. Might sound a weird decision at first glance, but you can just create an empty repo, create issues instead of cards and visualize them in den "Boards" view.
Key drivers for doing so were that we rely heavily on GitLab already, and that we wanted a trustworthy solution in terms of data privacy. But I guess you'd have a bit of a hard time selling this to an audience that has no experience with GitLab, so decide for yourself if its viable in your case
The bitwarden clients also work when there's no connection to the server, since they sync the vault. You just can't add any new entries. That means spotty internet is not that much of an issue in terms of using it. It also means, that every device that has a client installed and gets used regularly (to give the client a chance of syncing) is automatically a backup device.
You can install silverblue, and then rebase to ublue ( https://universal-blue.org/ ). Specifically to the "silverblue-nvidia" variant, and you should get a nice silverblue experience without any of the nvidia struggles, as people at the ublue project take care of that stuff for you.
And yes, distrobox is the goto solution to run stuff that is basically ubuntu-only, or by extension bound to any distro variant / version and not flatpak. This includes graphical applications. Distrobox works great, I do all my work in it.
