In theory, but in practice I found that its performances are closer to that of the backing HDD than the SSD. It is similar for the bcache kernel module to be fair. Using ZFS on HDD with L2ARC and LOG on SSD is comically slow. The only thing I found to give a real performance improvement is LVM cache, which is as fast as SSD as long as there is room on the SSD.

A lifetime guarantee refers to the life of the product. I.e. a pair of waterproof shoes with lifetime guarantee, are guaranteed to be waterproof until they have a hole. In general guarantees only guarantee that the product is free from fabrication defects and will keep working as advertised during its lifetime.

You can have RDP in kde with KRDP and Gnome also has a built-in option. But the reality,is that doing remote desktop is cumbersome, and unless you do it over a local network the lag is rarely comfortable. Outside of niche applications like thin clients for classrooms, the Linux hacker would rather use ssh all the time.

Many modern websites that use a lot of javascript are almost unusable on Firefox. I have a desktop PC with dual six-cores 3.3GHz Intel Xeon and 32GB of RAM, and Firefox struggle to render a text document in Nextcloud Office. In any chrome-based browser it works like a breeze. I'm keeping Firefox installed, in case I need some specific extension, but I'm using it less and less.
