Just that it's intuitively designed, but to a fault, Mint kind of does
that too but with far less bloat, using openSUSE I've really begun to
see computing as a deliberate act, rather than a smooth ride provided
by M$ and Apple.  I love it.  I don't need them, I don't even need a
"fun" Linux distro, I just need a computer that functions as it's
capable of doing.  Am I missing multimedia features?  A little.  Who
cares, though, I have more important things going on.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
