For details follow the link. This is nothing more than the headlines.
Finances
The GNOME Foundation reserves policy says that the buffer is too low to run at a deficit any longer, which it has done for three years. This years budget is a break-even budget.
Strategy & Fundraising
A five year strategic plan has been prepared and a draft approved by the board. A variety of fundraising activies will be launched over the coming months.
Board Development
More directors are being added to reduce workload on individual board members. Non-voting officer seats will be added for the same reason.
Elections
Annual board elections is coming up, 6 seats are being elected.
That’s a lot of text to basically say “categorize your data and give the files descriptive names”.
It didn’t end
They actually flip flop a lot.

Mind you, I haven’t installed a Windows Home OS since ever, but Shift+F10 and then using OOBE\bypassnro works just fine for me.
If it works, it works and staying close to defaults means less worries about updates breaking stuff.
I use the workspaces a whole lot more now than when I first installed GNOME but I still want my taskbar with appindicators.
If you start missing the classic taskbar and startmenu it is easily available in GNOME too:
Startmenu: ArcMenu
Taskbar: Dash to Panel
App Indicator: AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
Sometimes the appeal of socketed RAM is to just buy the bottom model and upgrade.
Yeah, I’m all for swappable RAM and disk in my laptops, problem is that those that care about it generally also spend more on their computer.
Soldered RAM has better performance and reliability while consuming less power than socketed RAM and users of budget machines rarely want to upgrade. If you find one with socketed RAM at that price, colour me impressed!
For an upgradable laptop frame.work comes to mind but even their outlet is $200 above your budget.

The Fedora and Debian thread solution should definitely work with Pipewire, as both those distros comes with pipewire default and no changes are discussed.
Keep an eye on the issue here:

Just to make sure we’re on the same page, I take it that the following isn’t working for you:
Download necessary-verbs.sh from https://github.com/joshuagrisham/galaxy-book2-pro-linux/blob/main/sound/necessary-verbs.sh
move it to /usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh
make it executable with
chmod +x necessary-verbs.sh
Create a systemd service in /etc/systemd/system
that runs the script at startup:
[
]
Description=Run internal speaker fix script at startup
After=getty.target

User=root
Group=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/necessary-verbs.sh

Seems to be a common problem to have sound issues on Galaxy Books.
This thread has solution for Fedora and also Debian. The Debian solution should be usable by you:

Here’s an arch and manjaro solution to help you figure it out if the above doesn’t solve your troubles. :

I would try a LiveUSB with Fedora or another distro with a more up to date kernel and test my wireless card there, if wifi and bluetooth plays nice then you can install a new kernel on Linux Mint and probably have it solved that way.
If you’re using wireless then you could try disabling power saving on the wifi card. It will drain more battery but the only reason I can see iptraf helping is if it wakes the network card.

Sweet! Here comes a random tidbit now that your problem is solved.
Easy screen mirroring of android to linux:
Prereqs:
.bashrc function:
#Connect to Android and view phone screen
#Tip: If using PIN on lock screen you can unlock by entering PIN + Enter even if screen is black
function phoneconnect(){
sudo adb start-server
adb tcpip 2233
adb connect <phoneIP>:2233
scrcpy
}
Simply write phoneconnect in terminal when both devices are accessible on the LAN and you can remote control your phone. Some applications will blacken the screen on the computer if sensitive data is shown.
Which version of KDEConnect do you run in Linux Mint? Seems like they package an old version from what I gather when searching for answers:

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1b5fvay/how_do_users_of_mint_or_other_debianbased_distros/
Are your other machines running distros with more up to date repositories?
With your EDIT my first thought was “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”.
I mean the beautiful thing about linux distros is how customizable they are. My GNOME is much more similar to a classic windows workspace than what the developers intended thanks to extensions.
Personally I chose Fedora (gaming VM) and Debian (servers) as my first distros because I wanted to start with distros without upstreams and as they’ve been working out fine I haven’t felt any need to continue downstream to other distros.
I am a bit curious to try Arch and Gentoo, but that would be on a secondary pc for fun.
Regarding muscle memory I setup shortcuts and some custom bash to make switching between my fedora and the windows pc at the office easier. And it was a whole lot easier than it would’ve been to make windows accept default linux shortcuts.
Super+E opens Nautilus for me, Super+D minimizes all open programs and Super+R opens up a terminal.
Writing excel in a terminal windows starts LibreOffice Calc while writing calc opens Gnome Calculator.
An option is to buy a router that supports openwrt and install the travelmate package:
Quick Start Guide:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-quick-start/start
Travelmate Readme:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/travelmate/files/README.md
Supported hardware:
https://openwrt.org/toh/start?toh.filter.supportedcurrentrel=22.03|23.05
Then you could setup Wireless WAN (Connect to existing WiFi) + Wireless LAN (for laptop/phone) + Ethernet LAN (for server) in that router.
Never tried doing LXC for it but with kvm/qemu you can use vfio and pcie passthrough if you don’t need the gpu in your headless server.

I think this is spot on. I think it’s exciting with LLMs but I’m not gonna give the huge corporations my data, nor anyone else for that matter.
