Fix typo; explain where that quote comes from (openSUSE ~/.profile).

Alas.

Move the Windows Update stuff somewhere else; it's (a) a big
tangent (b) a shaggydog story.

The latter makes a couple of cross-references to the former.
Considered using Org "internal links" and writing some glue to turn
them into "text fragment" links¹, but… some other day.

It's clear he holds a dim view of Packman; it's also clear that this
view is informed by his own packaging experience, the standards he has
for the craft, and Packman allegedly failing to meet that standard.

So cut the dude some slack. I don't see myself using Flatpaks over
Packman; OT1H the release model makes sense to me, as someone who
likes the latest-and-greatest straight from upstream, OTOH
- latest-and-greatest is why I use a rolling release, Flatpak brings
nothing new there;
- having to pick-and-choose apps which need codec-smuggling is a
bother;
- containerized apps break in subtle ways precisely because of the
security benefits containers bring: too many holes to punch in order
to integrate smoothly with the rest of the desktop.
So just nod and move on.

I may never succeed in fixing my framerate woes, but you know what?
Reading this still makes me happy 🥲

Current regret level: mild.

Mostly as a pretext to stick a footnote. There shall be margin notes
in this saga, so says I.

Mainly so Org stops re-indenting that quote block whenever I edit a
neighboring paragraph. Also partly because I wanted to understand how
I went from GitHub to Reddit on that one, tho no clue on that count.

Into bona-fide hardware notes, and notes specific to desktop
maintenance that bear increasingly little relation to "hard"ware.
