Neat! SUSE was technically my first Linux distro I installed probably circa 2006 via 3 or 4 CDs on some old donated hardware. I played around with it for a bit but never really dove in. A few years later I tried Ubuntu from a "demo" CD I got in Linux magazine and outside of a bit of experimental distro hopping I've been mostly on Ubuntu for the last 17ish years. Just about 3 weeks ago, I decided to install openSUSE again. Was split between tumbleweed and Leap, but decided to go with Leap (15.5). It's a bit different coming from a .deb based system, but I'm digging it so far. Kind of crazy that the build I installed so long ago was probably one of the first releases of SUSE.

You're on the same wavelength as me. My ideal product is an e-ink display to stick in the kitchen or some other high traffic area to display relevant family information and with touch controls to do some fairly basic things like toggle digital switches/dials or just switch to alternative dashboards. If I could find a touch-enabled e-ink display that's a good size but not stupid expensive (keeping in mind this is absolutely a luxury item so I'm not looking to shell out any significant volume of monies on the thing), I could attach one to a Pi and make one myself.
I'm out of the loop, what's the reference?

If I know I'm going to need a flashlight, I pop on a headlamp for free hands. Phone for impromptu use.
My very first smartphone was a hand me down iPhone 3G. I ended up modding the piss out of it with jailbreak stuff. Eventually used a friend's Android phone, which I hadn't really interacted with at that point and realized I had essentially turned my iPhone into an Android. My next phone was an Android and all of them have been since. If you're the type of person who likes (and gets value out of) doing tweaking, you probably should just get an Android. Many of the things you listed are doable with apps downloaded straight from the Google Play store.
Seconded for simplicity. If OP is looking for complex statistics, it may not do the trick, but it's about as straightforward and quick to set up as a monitoring solution can get.
Put this on my list of projects to dig into when I have time. I briefly tried Grocy a while back thinking I may be able to use it for inventory mgmt, but it didn't stick. I want to say I found some other self hosted home inventory project at one point but didn't stick with that one either. It's one of those things that I think you have to really invest in to get ROI back, but that's hard to do, especially when it's more than just yourself (wife-factor) planning to utilize it that also has to buy-in and commit.
I've only ever run ZFS on a proxmox/server system but doesn't it have a not insignificant amount of resources required to run it? BTRFS is not flawless, but it does have a pretty good feature set.
A WINE type app but for OSX (or really just iOS) apps would be awesome to have both desktops and phone. Call it CIDER or something similar. I reckon the way Apple does their app stores these days it would be hard to actually get most software working, but I don't think that alone is a showstopper.
My opinion is probably in line with most; that for general "news" it's just fine. For niche topics, most aren't here or at least aren't as robust as Reddit
There are two relatively minor features that I do wish would be implemented:
homepage defaults to Subscribed instead of all, or at least a way to set that as the default
a quick jump to top of page button that stays present when you've scrolled way down the page. Not sure if that was a RIF addition or native to Reddit, but that was a nice quality of life feature
