Nah, many brands are capable of making a decent MTB. If you are grabbing something new, $1000 gets you an OK hardtail, $2000 gets you an OK full-suspension. Spending more gets you higher quality parts and lighter weight. Spending less, better to go used.
I’d add a tail.
Plasma Mobile with your distro of choice. Works better than Gnome or normal Plasma, especially when it comes to the on screen keyboard.
My head is now clipping through a cardboard box full of stuff. I assume that wouldn’t be very survivable.
Plasma mobile is worth a try, been pretty happy with it on a detachable 2 in 1 without it’s keyboard. The onscreen keyboard works better than Gnome or normal Plasma.
Double wall rims can be made to be lower weight than single wall rims, and reducing rotating weight makes more of a difference than reducing weight elsewhere on the bike. Depending on how much lighter the new rims are, the bike might accelerate quicker. If the difference isn’t really noticeable, higher quality tires paired with the new wheels should help get that upgraded feeling.
Yeah, it should work fine. If using it for single track it might feel a bit weird, but have heard of people successfully mountain biking on even narrower rims with 2.1" tires.
Overall we tend to use we more than I. I gets used when someone is expressing their own opinion, when in non-plural spaces online, sometimes when talking to people we aren’t out to, and sometimes when only one of us is up front and no one else is close to front.
