Looks like it’s not perfect however looks to be a good starting point.

NVME / M.2 to 6x SATA boards, cheap enough on AliExpress.

I have an x16 PCIE bifurcated to 4 m.2 slots so a theoretical 24 SATA ports. Only one adaptor currently but lots of room to grow.

Cloudflared is such a nice feature, I have seperate tunnels for different services hosted on the one machine.

Depends on your ISP and where in the world you live.

Previous models are android tablets, assuming the same here.

I believe that functionality exists already if you are using Plex; via RSS sync.

Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.

My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.

Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.

Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.

Yeah looks like the AU/NZ version of their site does not have those options. Not that I’d be out buying a new laptop anytime soon, but a used laptop 😎

Unsure if the issue is fixed upstream in the kernel however there are a few topics going in depth about this issue with some reported fixes / workarounds.

Good luck with the issue, hopefully one of these links fixes that problem for you 🍻

Pipewire works fine on my Intel 5960x, Intel N3700, Intel 9900k, Intel 9700, AMD 4800HS and even my Intel ES Erying system. No pops or crackles from any inputs or outputs.

I’ve not tried with a dedicated sound card, just the onboard on all these systems.

Running KDE on one system along with Hyprland on another two with the remainder as headless systems.

You sure this issue isn’t somehow related to your hardware or something else?

Works great and has been for some time on my P7P.

Ensure you’ve allowed background usage and turn off manage app if unused.

Keep the notification on and allow notifications.

And I’m having issues writing / completing the install to /boot

Files are written to boot by the nixos-infect script, then disappear after sometime… If the VM is shutdown / rebooted I get the previously displayed unrecoverable error screen.

Might be an easier way to achieve this.

It’s a VM

Man I feel I’d almost wiped the debian install and added NixOS (nix package manager works fine under debian) using nixos-infect

A clean install and a night’s sleep and I’ll probably forget I was attempting this, but looks promising.

Creating a browser from scratch is a monumental task, ladybird is such a project which has been in progress since ~2022, and will probably take another couple before it’s at beta. Optimistic release is 2028, or ~6 years of development.

I’ve moved to schizofox (NixOS) but there are plenty of other forks available which remove telemetry and other default behaviours from Firefox.

Chromium forks are another alternative however due to chromiums dominance in the browser space I’m reluctant to shoutout any forks.

It’s not so much how old - but how long the OEM (google) keeps bringing out updates for that platform (from memory)

Purely just send.

You ain’t gonna learn to swim in the wading pool, take a leap and break something.

It’s like any job - you can be talked to about x, y or z until the cows come home but until you stub your toe on a specific issue it’s mostly just fluff.

I’ve committed unencrypted secrets to codeberg, deleted boot partitions without rebuilding (nixos), tested most Linux distros until I got comfortable.

Dumb mistakes are bound to happen (I feel mostly to me) but you don’t learn without seeing the repercussions. Linux isn’t scary - closed source crapware is; no matter how “user friendly” it’s made out to be.

Edit: formatting

Wish it worked for my pixel watch, really dropped the ball there google.

I believe tuxclocker has NVIDIA plugins.

Ryujinx reached an agreement with Nintendo is the rumour.
