Tumbleweed is really really good, my second favourite after Nixos (which is leagues ahead of any other OS imo)

Update: Wrote the manufacturer and I’m getting a new one for free (I love EU consumer rights)

Dual battery, yes

I fear the chip inside the battery was overwritten, but will try that, thanks.

Battery life did change, only the first discharge still had the old battery life.

My guess is the chip on the battery for some reason reset itself and fell back to some generic standard of 40.4 Wh, it’s now cutting off further charting when reaching 45 Wh, thinking the battery isn’t made for more.

Recalibrated, now it still says design 40.4 Wh, but says current 45.15 Wh (literally 2 days ago it said design 64.8 Wh and current 64.8 Wh)

Sadly didn’t help. But thanks.

They need windows? I guess I’ll try without first, hopefully works.

Thanks, this tells me my EC didn’t update which is great. I’ll report back what happened after recalibration of the battery, if that doesnt help could it fix it to reinstall BIOS using one of those ISOs?

Thanks, will try that today.

BIOS: N27ET51W (0.1.37), the one I upgraded to was 0.1.41, then rolled back again.

EC: N27HT26W (0.1.15), don’t know if it rolled back too

Thanks! Tried a) and the reset pinhole (and a BIOS reset) and didn’t fix it yet, battery has been charging overnight, will check soon

Battery life didn’t change, but it’s annoying that the laptop just sits at 1% with a few hours of battery life remaining

That’s probably the best comment Ive read so far on all of Lemmy, thanks!

Helix editor. I love terminal UI apps.

What’s wrong with people making money because other people buy their video games? Are they hurting someone?

Yes, the only thing that ever breaks for me are my nvidia drivers (specifically if there arent new drivers for a new kernel yet). Sometimes I don’t roll back and just keep it, but often I’m using local AI for uni stuff so I roll back to fix them.

There’s also Slowroll which is Tumbleweed but like 1 week behind in updates for a stable experience, and there’s some immutable flavour that I forgot the name of.

I’m using Tumbleweed, the one issue of rolling release (things occasionally breaking) is not an issue since OpenSuse natively supports snapshots (and automatically makes a snapshot before and after every update).

Something breaks? Reboot -> Boot from read-only snapshot -> selecting the one from before the update -> in terminal: snapper rollback -> done. Update again 2d later.

Opensuse is great, been daily driving it for 1.5 years with no issues (issues were solved by booting an old snapshot and rolling back, updating again 2d later)

I haven’t played with email extraction to my own server yet (their server is perfectly syncing my devices and has basic searching) but regarding limits: Purelymail’s advanced pricing is 4€/year + usage (very fair prices for usage). So you aren’t hitting limits. Theres a calculator on their advanced pricing site that lets you input numbers and tells you how much you’d pay.

Given I don’t need too much privacy for generic E-Mails (I use my Tuta mail address for that) I’m using purelymail with advanced pricing for ~5€/year. (If I cared more about privacy in emails I’d use Tuta for 3€/month)
