It says it doesn’t apply to updates, only app downloads…

Plasma bigscreen if you want it simple, if you want those extra features go for KDE anyway.

What large documents are you keeping in that binder? Your notebook can break, if one iPad isn’t charged I grab another one, we’ve been over this, okay the battery fails; again, it’s backed up. Maybe it can overheat in the sunlight (110°f haven’t had it happen), maybe you want to keep something extra private. I don’t really see the difference between changing writing tools in an app and in person tbh, but I’m pretty sure I can take an iPad almost anywhere. A tablet can do almost anything a notebook/binder can, the same is not true in reverse.

I promise you I’ve used both, pretty sure I had to write in pencil for mine and I’m sure you can argue the minutia back and forth all day, however objectively, the iPad is a more versatile writing tool than a notebook.

You just prefer it, a notebook won’t survive a 50ft fall into water, an iPad with an OtterBox might, even if it didn’t my notes will, I just grab another iPad.

My issue seems to be that when those guides were written it assumed I had pulse audio and no pipewire.

Didn’t work in Kubuntu, I guess I’ll try Fedora
