I have a hetzner storage box mounted with sshfs, but I wish I didn't have to since I'm paying for protondrive too. It took me a whole day to upload my personal files to protondrive through the web interface since it crashed the browser repeatedly and I had to verify what got uploaded or not each time.

"The discussion continued for quite a while without making much headway."
I think Debian is interesting, being such a large project of collaboration. I want this democratic, volunteer, non-corporate backed, free project to show that 10000 eyes make bugs shallow. I wish this model produced new ways of doing things, bringing people together in the spirit of creativity and playful productivity.
I've used Debian in different ways for around 15 years now, and I really want it to succeed.
Having said that, there is a "but..." looming in the back of my mind. But... it's difficult to ignore that other distributions are the ones pushing Linux forward. The innovation from Fedora and the distributions still called OpenSuse explore new areas which become the standards.
This is not criticism of Debian, I just wonder if we humans are capable of collaborating freely at that level without some top-down force directing work forward, or if we are bound to being one step behind, always trying to catch up to what others have already done?

The last time my grub was broken was around 2012 when I ran Arch. After that I have rarely thought about grub at all.
What about the proposal to just drop the name openSUSE with no replacement? And let each distro just be called Tumbleweed, Leap, Aeon, etc.
Unicode in filenames can be a bad idea, since there are more than one way to achieve what looks like the same character. So matching patterns could fail if you think it's one way, but it's actually another representation in unicode.
In recent turn of events, openSUSE Aeon will probably just be Aeon, and the name openSUSE will disappear everywhere.
What started as openSUSE Micro Desktop is now openSUSE Aeon. It's still RC2, and RC3 will probably be easier to do a clean install since it will add full disk encryption, but if you want to check it out now it's reliable and works well.
There are some old interviews with George RR Martin where people ask him about various characters, and GRRM would adjust his pronounciation to match the person asking the question. So he's pronouncing names differently in different interviews depending on how others pronounce them. I wonder if it is to make the other person comfortable, or if he just doesn't have a canon pronounciation.
If you don't want to touch anything, you could boot from a live USB image and try it?

Sorry, a "storage box" ìs a product by a company called Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/
sshfs is a way to mount something remote through ssh so it behaves like a local directory.
