My grub boot loader is pretty hacked together at this point. Really should probably do a fresh install at some point. Want to get a 4TB SSD at some point though.

The Escape Key closes most popups, dialogs, modals. It’s also non-destructive, so it won’t close a program; any “save changes” dialog will be cancelled.
Expanding on yours, Shift + Home and Shift + End to select from the cursor to the beginning or end of the line.
And Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Keys to select words/lines. Essential when working with documents.
Edit: Sorry, this has already been thoroughly covered in this thread.
With Shift + Pos1 or End you can mark text from cursor until beginning or end of line! I use that often.

Use a tiling window manager like sway.
Get some big HDDs and self host your own file storage on zfs. Same for media servers like jellyfin. You can also host qBitTorrent web client so it's accessible from anywhere.
Set up a VM in Hetzner cloud and host vaultwarden.
Expose your services over wireguard.
I was not familiar with Hetzner Cloud until now. I have used VPS found in the $1 & $2 lists at lowendbox, as I am super-cheap.
Just be sure to keep local backups, in case the provider evaporates.
Insult and threaten the maschine till it works

My computer gets hacked all the time, I'm pretty used to it now.
