I'm not sure it's that much faster but we recently switched to a stove top kettle for our induction stove. It's one less thing that needs to be plugged in somewhere. Also, the kettle makes a very cool sound! :)

I'd say customizability. Haven't used k-9 since I found FairEmail so can't really say anything about how it is now but it used to be pretty bare bones. At least compared to FairEmail.
I use OsmAnd+ and you can configure it to save a track every time you use navigation. It can also send that track live to self hosted tracking servers. You need to enable the trip recording plugin.
There is also newt which is: ...a programming library for color text mode, widget based user interfaces.
It also comes with the whiptail command for creating TUI interfaces for shell scripts. Similar to dialog (ncurses) or zenity (QT).
Heard about linux from someone at school in -95, I was 15 at the time. No idea where he had heard about it. Brought a stack of floppy disks and downloaded slackware on a school computer. Of course some of the disks had read errors so had to copy them again the next day but eventually I got slackware installed. In spring of -96 redhat 3.0.3 was released which I for some reason bought the full version of, still have the box in my bookcase. Since then I have been a pretty much 100% linux desktop user. Well 95% since I was dual booting windows for games for a long time.
I spent a lot of time back then learning linux by experimentation and hanging out on IRC talking to people about linux. As others have said, you had to compile the kernel because there were no kernel modules (had forgotten about that!) and I remember being quite fast in navigating the kernel configuration menus. I wouldn't even know where to start nowadays! :)
“declares that evidence concerning acts for which the President is immune can play no role in any criminal prosecution against him.”
To me (as a non-US citizen and outside observer) this seems to be the real problem. Seems to present a catch-22 to me. What am I missing?
