I would expect Gitlab and Codeberg to be the most likely destinations depending on how FOSSy a project is.
I heard someone mention "Tangled" earlier today too which might be new? Unsure. Seems to be an attempt at a federated version control platform.

I think it has more to do with them being adaptations of web novels. I can only assume that at some point there was a meta that evolved around naming web novels something wordy and specific to either stand out from the crowd, let readers know what the series was about, or both.
Disclaimer: I don't read web novels, could be way off.

I have to admit, installing Cachy was annoying for me. It couldn't deal with my Windows partitions or something. After I wiped my SSD completely, it worked.
Learning Linux stuff was a bit confusing too, but expected. Installer was a headache I did not expect.
(Disabling SecureBoot in BIOS was also a bit of trial and error)

Do you have Limine working on your newer PC?
When I tried using something like Snapper on my own a year or two ago I was super confused and gave up, but Limine on Cachy has been so simple. I've rolled back updates a couple of times already.
For context, I decided to wipe my Windows10 install about a month ago and I'm using only using Cachy now.

Everyone loves Bazzite, and they're probably all right, but it did not run very well on my old gaming laptop.
Since people often mention Linux (in general) as being a good OS for older hardware, I thought this anecdote might be a helpful perspective to some.
I tried two or three other distros on that laptop, and they all ran fine as expected. I assume Bazzite has some higher system requirements to power its cool features.

I appreciate the deep dive, but like, I think I'm just a fundamentally different kind of computer user than this person who has an automatic warning on their website telling me to disable all javascript by default.
I'm not saying they're wrong, just... more invested in security than I am, among other things probably.

Yeah, when I tried basic Ubuntu about a year ago, it must not have liked something about my two monitors or Nvidia GPU.
The whole desktop was shitting itself, and at one point I could see my mouse on one monitor but the clicks were taking place on the other monitor. It's a nightmare to debug things when you can't accurately click any windows or buttons.
Endeavor and Pop both worked out of the box.
