Is this radical redesign of GIMP possible now?
Unity 7 HUD could search the menubar of any application. I was quite good at guessing the name of the function I wanted, far better than I was at finding it in menus. It looks like MATE and i3 still have this.

MacOS Help Search in Linux
If you want a single solution then look for projects implementing a "HUD". For KDE Plasma there is this one: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-hud, that is a fork of this for Ubuntu Mate: https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-hud. Hopefully you find something that suits your needs!

System76 Virgo Aims to Be the Quietest yet Most Performant Linux Laptop
This is very exciting. After Dell and HP dropped out over the past year, I've been waiting for a company other than Lenovo to build a well-designed laptop with a pointing stick. I'm glad that System76 is taking the community laptop suggestions to heart (implementing a Thinkpad-style TrackPoint is the top suggestion by number of thumbs up: https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions/issues/25).

System76 Teases Their “Virgo” In-House Manufactured Laptop
System76 is still collecting laptop design suggestions here:
https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions
The most popular suggestion (by number of upvotes) is to add a TrackPoint style pointer:

I hope they deliver.

Oryx Pro users: have you used external monitors without the dedicated GPU on Oryx Pro?
I'm planning on buying an Oryx Pro, so I decided to go through system76's GH to see if anyone had posted any issues about the model. I recently noticed that there's a very old issue open on System76's repo for laptop suggestions (here: https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions/issues/139).

Is System76 planning a fanless ultrabook similar to Macbook Air?
Add your support to open suggestions (issues) here: https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions. S76 doesn't design any laptops themselves currently, but this is their way of gathering feedback on what we're interested in for whenever they do.

hardware kill switch microphone
A browse around the internet generally leads to purism and framework, but these are well designed manufacturer's solutions and I am looking for some good old DIY experiments. Several searches yielded no results, and according to https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions this is a much desired feature.

Why would someone buy a Linux laptop (System76/Slimbook/Tuxedo) instead of a same price Thinkpad?
S76 does not design their current laptop inventory but they are collecting feedback for when they do. Share your feedback: https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions

System76 "in house laptop". Anyone else waiting?
No time immediately. S76 design and manufacturing has only just got to a mechanical keyboard. Less significant than that is the thelio chassis and I/O board. They seem to be taking this seriously and building up their capabilities. You can track and provide suggestions for their laptops here though: https://github.com/system76/laptop-suggestions
