On #3, I&#x27;ll just plug Mageia again.  I use the KDE version (I know, I know, you didn&#x27;t want to know) since 2011, and it&#x27;s the only linux I&#x27;ve ever used that &quot;just works&quot;.  I&#x27;ve had it on several laptops and a desktop, and haven&#x27;t once touched a config file by hand.  I&#x27;ve more or less forgotten all of my old Linux hand-editing juju.<p>They&#x27;re the community-driven spinoff from Mandriva, and they&#x27;re the only Linux I&#x27;d recommend to anyone anymore:  <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mageia.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mageia.org&#x2F;</a>
