To be fair, there are a lot of Flatpacks published by the devs themselves (especially in the Gnome/GTK ecosystem).

Sounds like a rather frustrating journey for you.
Thanks! Glad to see the 8x7B performing not too bad - I assume that's a Mistral model? Also, does the CPU significantly affect inference speed in such a setup, do you know?
So you access the models directly via terminal? Is that convenient? Also, do you get satisfying inference speed and quality with a 16GB card?
IIRC extensions are sadly not a part of stable Gnome Web yet.
Believe it or not, she's now running a graphics design studio.
My sister and I figured out that we could draw. On the windshield of our neighbours car. Using stones.

That sounds familiar. Remember when we used to watch TV?
That one looks cool! GPS receiver makes it interesting compared to the pine time.

Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?
I guess I just like independent, community-driven distros, since there's less space for financially motivated enshittification. Just shortly after I decided to go with FCOS, RedHat / IBM decided to close down CentOS, for example.
I can’t really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers?
The system & kernel yes. The whole system is basically a read-only system "image" for which the devs make sure all the packages play nicely together. Packages are not updated individually, but whole system "image" are released periodically, which the system then downloads automatically and reboots (you decide when it actually reboots through the config). If anything goes wrong, the system is rolled back to the previous "image".
When you go with podman, there's a systemd service you can enable which will update the containers (i.e. pull the specified image tag). I'm not aware of a similar mechanism for Docker, which is why I use watchtower for that which has been working smoothly so far.
Edit:
And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?
For me, it's the (quite safely designed) auto-updates of the base system (I just feel like having to do less repetitive work), infrastructure-as-code aspect, and the container mindset (as I containerize everything anyways). Also I just have a weakness for new, fancy stuff.
Same problem here, my company requires 2FA for remote network access. MS Authenticator requires Google Services on Android which I don't have - so no home office for me I guess.
