To be fair I've used both and I get the complaints aimed at each philosophy. At some point, I'm just grateful these projects exist at all and for free. Personally I still think microG is nice to have, flaws and all. My Motorola lasts four days on one charge and I have a gut feeling that not having Play Services constantly running is part of why. Either way you're better off than stock

Age old discussion
Language changes through use, not through rules or intentions to "preserve" meanings. You can’t freeze a language, words evolve based on how people actually use them, and today GIMP overwhelmingly refers to the image editing software, not some outdated insult. If you search for it online, you'll find pages of tutorials and plugins long before you even stumble on that old sense.
English is a global language now, the majority of its speakers aren’t native, and it feels ethnocentric to assume everyone experiences a word the same way a small educated group of native speakers might. Meaning comes from context and community use, not from etymology.
Semantic shifts and reappropriations happen all the time. Words like "queer" completely changed meaning over time. From my point of view, GIMP has done the same thing.
Sorry if I miss some nuance, I’m not a native speaker myself...

Fish Shell 4.2 Released with Improved Autosuggestions

Fish is great out of the box!
Check out the Fish for Bash users guide since it explains the main differences.
The few issues I’ve seen for daily use are that export does not work and you need to use set -x VAR value instead, $PS1 is not recognized because Fish uses its own prompt system, and wildcards work a bit differently...

Only for reading, easily available in EU, low budget: which e-ink device/distro?
I have a Kindle, and it's relatively inexpensive (I assume the business model focuses on selling eBooks rather than the reading device itself). I never turn on the Wi-Fi or sign in; I use it offline by uploading books through USB with Calibre. I've read that it can be jailbroken, but it has met all my needs so far. Would this option work for you?

Cheap keyboard suggestions?
Buy a second-hand one and you can always purchase new keycaps for a fresh feeling, but 25€ will be a tight budget anyway

I second this. Version 1.0 was only released a year ago. I gave it another try and was pleasantly surprised!

Suggestions for choosing email provider
I'm extremely satisfied with mailbox.org!
They support all standard email protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) even Sieve for server-side filters, so you can use any mail client you prefer rather than being locked into official apps. They offer CardDAV for contacts and CalDAV for calendars, and their drive can be mounted via WebDAV.
Pricing is reasonable and personal domains are supported.
Isn't Tuta based in Germany anyway?

CalyxOS is back

The main difference is that GrapheneOS focuses on hardened security (sandboxed Google Play Services, their own browser Vanadium, etc.) and only runs on Pixels, CalyxOS stays closer to stock AOSP, prioritizes privacy with things like microG as a Google services replacement and supports more devices like the Fairphone and some Motorolas
