To those who have already switched (whether to Credit Karma or another service): What are you using and why do you like it?

Pretty easy, and it's saved my bacon a handful of times. Most recently I restored from command line because I borked my display driver (legacy Nvidia user).
Aside from that instance, everything else was done through the GUI.
One word: Timeshift
Started with XFCE but migrated away due to bugginess with my outdated system. Next was KDE. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it ended up being after hearing otherwise. Now I'm on Sway, and it makes this old computer scream!
I have absolutely jammed to the original Unreal Tournament (UT’99) soundtrack on my commute.
Try the AutoFill keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L (or Cmd-Shift-L on Mac). Works well enough for me.
RIP. Sorry to be so negative, but the system is rigged in Sony's favor.
By the way, I also picked up the RAM from Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-8gb-1600-mhz-ddr3-sodimm-laptop-memory-green/4680400.p?skuId=4680400&ref=E10C18R004_OrderConfirmation&loc=BODY&CampaignID=NES_OrderConfirmation&eut=3450571981
You can probably find an equivalent for cheaper if you go through another reseller.
SSD: Best Buy (US electronics store) still had some SATA SSDs in stock, so I didn't need an adapter. This is what I got: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-cs900-500gb-internal-ssd-sata/6385542.p?skuId=6385542
Take advantage of the fact that you can make Live USBs of the distros as you decide what you're looking for.
For me, I found AntiX a little too barebones for me. But your mileage will vary.
I will have to give Mint another go sometime!
