Shouldn't be difficult. Add the rpmfusion repo and install drivers (with akmods that handles everything when the driver / kernel updates). Instructions on the rpmfusion web site. After that, setup dnf-automatic and you're done.

Evolution works with the Linux kernel mailing list that can be several thousand emails a day. Just be sure to add your Gmail accounts via the gnome control panel (if your desktop is on Fedora or similar) rather than via Evolution. Also look at using AI if you have a LLM / agent with access to your inbox. Google offer this via their Gemini Pro subscription - free for a year of you happen to own a Pixel 10 Pro. I'm guessing that as you use GrapheneOS you probably don't want to give Google access to your phone. Searching via the Gmail web interface should work fine though.

Depends on the distro. Fedora is a general purpose distro and usually pushes out new kernel releases (6.19 for example) after about 4 weeks. This means the initial bugs have been fixed and it's stable for general purpose use. If you want the latest release it's easy:

sudo dnf upgrade kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing

The Fedora Koji build system has the latest version in testing.

You can also build your own.

Don't make the mistake of thinking 7.0 will be any more special than 6.19 or 6.20 etc. They're just release numbers and when Torvalds thinks the point number is big enough the first number is incremented.

If the EV is driven in the EU, where the UK tax does not apply, how is the UK only mileage reported as it won't add up to the odometer reading? How is this legitimate avoidance handled vs fiddling the odometer?

Yet another example of so-called "free market economics". Amazing how the USA cries foul when China legitimately decides to buy soy beans from a BRICS country because of Taco's ridiculous tariffs. Trump's economic illiteracy is not China's problem. It has many other partnerships in the world. If the west didn't want the Chinese economy outgrowing it's own then perhaps the greedy capitalists shouldn't have outsourced their production to Chinese cheap labour. But capitalism == greed and exploitation, so no surprise. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

Definitely nothing to do with oil /s

Venezuela currently ranks as the country with the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Based on recent data from multiple sources (including OPEC and various energy industry estimates), the ranking is:

  1. Venezuela (with proven reserves typically estimated at over 300 billion barrels) 2. Saudi Arabia 3. Canada (due to its vast oil sands)
