All DVDs are 480p max.

I was a floutist as well. I think part of it is that you just get used to the level of whatever sound device you use.

As someone who likes small-screen laptops: no. The screen size is not the problem (unless it is also low-resolution), it's the battery size, and what the battery can power for a "reasonable" amount of time.

13-14" is the sweet spot between power storage, size, and energy efficiency in my opinion.

Even soundbars are better than TV speakers. Proper speakers would still be better, but TV speakers are nearly useless.

A lot of that uncertainty has to do with USPS, who keeps getting slower, and their delivery date estimates are at this point often 2-3 days more optimistic than reality.

At least in my experience, UPS, Fedex, etc., tend to deliver when the estimate says.

Except for the tire and road wear. The extra weight isn't free.

Ram is boom or bust industry. The big manufacturers remain because they were either wise in their bets or lucky.

In my experience with Gentoo, the hard stuff is well beyond the base setup: it's getting sound, bluetooth, auto-mounting, etc. setup the way it is in the bigger distros.

For the Pro, you will want a 3d-printed dock, or a really thin USB-C cable to use with the pogo pin dongle.
