Wish I could try Wayland, can't seem to get it to load. Fortunately when they pushed the update of Wayland as default they didn't remove x11 support. Still been pretty happy with kde neon for the last few years

Just about any Agatha Christie mystery is worth reading. I personally love the Hercule Poirot and Tommy and Tuppence series. Another series I enjoyed is the Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers. I guess the narrow genra I usually read is a cozy mystery because it's easy.
