You could take into account the austerity that has been a big part of the change under social democratic rule in recent history, which has been capitalistic. Privatizing medical care, public transit, etc. Which has increased prices, reduced given service, etc. Transferring public interest to private interest leads to a shift in focus, as in from serving the public to serving the owners and thus profit.

Indeed, for me going back to an lts version helped me work around this. Currently on 6.1 and that seems to not have this issue.

Yes, except the free part

It depends on what you didn't like about Germany I reckon. Dutch culture can come across as very blunt, in your face, or even disrespectful.

Almost every Dutch person will be able to smalltalk a bit and help you get around. That part should be fine for you I think.

The housing situation is pretty difficult and is something you should probably solve for yourself as soon as you find a job there.

I like it, even though I'm not sure if I would call it the GNOME official workflow (is that even a thing?). I usually don't get close to having 10 applications open. I tend to work with about 1 to 3 workspaces with various applications based on my needs. Furthermore, I keep the windows non-maximized which helps me condense more information yone screen

I like it, but is it programmer humor?

Edit: typos

I'm unsure whether a drop-in replacement exists. I use Lawnchair. It doesn't have the newsfeed when swiping left, but if you're okay with changing your flow a bit it could be good (enough) for you. You could create something with widgets (or maybe plugins) that replicate what you currently have.

I'll come clean and admit it took me too long to figure this one out.

Nice of you to take initiative like this. I'm still reeling from the shock of the lack of memes.
