I tried this once. It downloaded way more stuff than needed and still required admin to actually install.

Okay, but what does "applied" look like? Including a prompt?

It sounds like he actually orchestrates a "big night out" each time:

  One of the things I learned is that my review will be worse than useless if I am not having a good time the night I review it. I'll feel bad for underperforming, you'll feel bad for having a stressed, depressed drunkard on the line, and no one's knowledge of UX and the world is improved. So, I've made a few rules. One: I never drink alone. That means I need to ask friends whether they're up for a night out. I normally pay for their drinks, too. Two: I never schedule in a rush. That means that I now commit to a general two-week turnaround, but it can be longer than that, at times, and there's nothing I'm willing to do about it to make it faster.

Last time I checked the Fedora ISOs didn't include the device trees necessary to even begin installation.

I can see this comment was downvoted because it doesn't address the main point but Circle to Search is genuinely a good, helpful feature. It allows you to copy or translate text in two or three taps, even faster than if you had selection power, and I hope more platforms add similar functionality (even if just to work around the current terrible state of text selection).
