I hear you. My last phone was an ancient Xperia from about eight years ago–but I finally needed to get a new one. I love most everything Sony is doing with the Xperia series, and I would have gotten another. But the update guarantee was so abysmal I just couldn’t do it. So now I have a Pixel which I think is worst in design in a lot of ways. But at least it will be updated. (And can run GrapheneOS).
Seconding Sway. I will admit I prefer autotiling (switching the split for new windows between horizontal/vertical automatically, rather than choosing which split you want), but overall Sway is so good in configuration that I still use it in spite of being a manual. The configuration takes time, but that’s common to pretty much any tiler.
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the question is perhaps a bit of a weird answer–but I really want to learn SELinux. It’s completely overkill for my Linux desktop and the few services I run on my network. The same with OpenLDAP, I want to play around with it even though I have no real need for it with my setup, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
On that note, I also feel like I want to learn Ansible, or some other configuration management tool. The thing is, I haven’t even played around with it (or any others) enough to really even get what the intended use case is. I’m looking for ways to manage policies and configurations across multiple machines in a common way, but it feels like the more common use case is deploying webapps. So while it’s on my list of things I want to learn I don’t even have sufficient background at the moment.
Then, finally, the other thing that came to mind was timeshift–or really BTRFS snapshots in general. It would be nice to have that additional feeling of safety while playing around with my systems.
I have a Priority Apollo. The maintenance is way less than any of my chain-drive bikes, which I really appreciate. I tend to bike in the winter and in the rain (although not so much this last year), and it has been so much better for that (internal hub as well: no salt/sand in the gears, no risk of rust, etc). The internal hub on it is different shifting than a normal derailleur, but you get used to it. It’s definitely heavier than my roughly equivalent spec chain-drive bike, and it feels a lot slower. It is silent (like you don’t think of chains as loud, but by comparison you really notice the lack of sound). The major downside is it just doesn’t “feel” as responsive as a chain. I don’t quite know how to describe it, it’s not like there is a bunch of stretch in the belt or anything, but it just feels different in a way I don’t entirely love. That could partly be a factor of the internal hub though, and I’ll be honest, if I could do it again I would have gotten a belt single speed rather than internal hub, but I would get a belt again – even if only for avoiding the salt damage in the winter.

A link to the project would have been helpful: https://github.com/edubart/nelua-lang
Initially I was going to dismiss it as a cool pet project for someone but not really likely to get any traction given the competition in the space–but there are a lot of people who are going to learn Lua as their first language through things like Roblox and other games, so I could actually see it grow as people who already know Lua move out of games and are looking for speed with familiar syntax.
That said, not for me. There are plenty of other languages out there I’m more likely to reach for.
