What do you want from a modern Linux on a decent machine?? 

-Network, with 4G, WiFi.
-Bluetooth
-Dropbox
-WebDAV / FTP / NFS for various backup strategies
-Function keys
-KDEconnect / GSConnect suite
-Printer   
-Remote scanning (network)

Old requirements : 

-Remote Desktop software to take care of the machine while away.
-Ability to sleep and wake-up... In the proper console.
-And with a Secure Shell too!
-Obvious peripherals (android phones, iStuff)
-Nice interface, without rude consoles with lots of ugly warnings
-Compilers-ready
-VirtualBox capable
-And lots of available software at hand, of course, with a nice and easy installer.

Snippets, short stuff, Howtos && the e16-trsp tweak draft. Hey, what about i3wm?
