I don’t really want to use 11 until I must, but I’ll keep this in mind.

I don’t fully understand how silverblue and kinoite are different, but I feel this way with base Fedora KDE. I’ve never broken it even a little bit when that used to be common with Ubuntu based distros for whatever reason.

It’s very walkable. I can get to most places easily or just take a stroll around the neighborhood.

I had the exact opposite problem, where I caught covid so early (back in January 2020) that they were still calling it bronchitis.

My mom, on the other hand, had a situation similar to you, and it hit her HARD. She still has long covid symptoms where she gets extreme fatigue and a weird taste in her mouth.
