I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you're interested.

Have you looked at the DYI option instead of the pre built one? Assembling this laptop is doable in 5 minutes for a 3 years old kid ;) You can even find step by step guides videos and that will bring the price down to your higher limit of 1000 euro. That may be a good option if you like the concept so much. I'm personaly looking to get one of those for my next machine.
Also, this discussion may help you. It's on the framework forum but comments are not only all positive which reflects liberty of speech. Another plus in my view. Finally, always remember to compare apples to apples and take longevity in consideration. Not all processors with similar specs are the same for example.
Quite recently I moved to my first trackball (Elecom Deft Pro) and that was a life changer. I've shared my experience here.
When setting up your SSD, don't forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.
Thanks for sharing.
I was personally not motivated/good enough to write a new tool so I've wrote scripts to use rofi (easily adaptable to dmenu) as:
- an app launcher
- a clipboard manager
- an infobar to show things like the date/time, memory usage, disk space, battery level, wifi signal…
- an omnibar to perform an internet search, quick units conversions
- a calculator for simple math
- a bookmark manager (list, open, edit, add, remove)
- a password/2FA token manager (list, edit, add, remove, autofill internet fields)
- a wifi manager
- a vpn manager
I've explained the basis here if you're curious. Even though I was bad at keeping my code up to date you may get some ideas to expand your program.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I've spent quite some time trying to create a minimalist and efficient theme. Very glad to hear that I met this goal.
I've explained my choice for zsh here
Nicely configured it's so convenient that I spend most of my time in the terminal and don't even use a file explorer anymore. It can also be expanded with some plugins for specific use-cases.
Thanks for sharing!
Using Ublock picker (not zapper) you can block/allow elements per domain and save/revert your choices. But overall, like I already said, I agree with you that umatrix offered a more granular and easy approach. It would be nice to see that implemented in Ublock. I nonetheless understand why it's not the case since it would benefit only few users and may scared most of the others.
Hopefully umatrix will work for you for a long time. For me it was not and that's how I discovered Ublock and adapt to its "limitations". On a daily basis it helps me browse the internet like umatrix did. It's just sad that umatrix was not forked.
I noticed that it was not maintained when some pop-ups showed up while they used to be blocked. I also first missed that level of granularity from umatrix. You can replicate it with the element picker mode in Ublock but I realized that I could live with the "basic" Ublock advanced settings.
If you're looking for an in-browser alternative I'd highly recommend you take a look at the LibRedirect extension for Firefox and Chromium. It'll automatically redirect any youtube URL to your preferred alternative between Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, CloudTube, Tubo, FreeTube, or Yattee.
If you're looking for an external app and like using your terminal then ytfzf may be a good choice. I've briefly talked about it here. It will even allow you to search on Youtube (through invidious), Peertube, and Odysee if you so desire.
