I was using https://f-droid.org/en/packages/codes.swistak.batterymonitor/ because it worked reliably while others were a bit buggy for me.

I find both projects very interesting too. I see some distro hopping incoming… Well, least try it out on my secondary device.

Very interesting approach, please keep us posted and best of luck!

Edit: just thought, have you ever heard of RakuOS ? They seem to have similar ideas, about the unlocking while still atomic.

Interesting. Please let us know about your project once it’s ready.

I often have this conversation with the people I do Linux support with. We either go for Debian, which can be a bit tricky to install on some machines or Fedora/OpenSUSE with KDE Plasma. Since you want an Ubuntu based system, maybe check out MX Linux, but be aware, that it needs manual migration between major versions (https://mxlinux.org/migration/). Maybe also have a look at this list: https://distrowatch.com/search.php?desktop=KDE+Plasma#simple

KDE has a lot on documentation, maybe you would get some inspiration of how this can be done: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/documentation

I’m running everything that is proprietary (Steam for example) on a second user that is a not an admin account. Heroic and the like are installed via Flatpak that is sandboxed. Sometimes games contain malware, even on Steam. If something goes badly wrong, I purge that second user.
