How can you be “independent” if you have sponsors? All sponsorships are in the form of unrestricted donations. Board seats and other forms of influence are not for sale.

…per the FAQ.

You can also install wallpaper plugins from the KDE store for your lock screen background. I’m a fan of City Grow.

Sunshine/Moonlight works well for me also.

I have an 8 year old Acer aspire and it works great for coding. I’ve learned a lot about both of those languages with zero worries and recently moved the OS over to nix with excellent results.

Not for a while now, I continued to use it after switching to AMD. It’s regularly being updated, give it a try.

As a seven-plus year Linux vet I’ve known about OpenWRT for some time but only made the switch about 3 months or so myself to breathe some life into an aging Linksys.

I’m very impressed with the kit so far, it runs well (snappy even) and the amount of options provided are a bit overwhelming at first. Eventually I’ll move on to prosumer hardware, but this is a nice middle ground in the interim.
