Wires:

• Ethernet over preferred over WiFi for non portable desktops
• Audio gear : wired will sound better. Bluetooth headphones have batteries that almost certainly aren’t repairable.
• Peripherals, in the sane vein. I just don’t get having to charge a keyboard or mouse that sits on my desk all day.

Ah, okay. I thought OP was referring to a thinkpad/thinkcentre

What’s a thin client?

Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour, Manjaro, or plain arch.

Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let’s you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.

But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he’s very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois

Some gcam versions have buried settings that can enable a third party gallery

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.

This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I’ll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

Does this charge the Dev for the credits we use? I have no issues patching Spotify or YouTube tho

Does the Infinity Reddit app still work?

Wait what did I miss? I thought Fetterman was supposed to be one of the good ones

Manjaro is a distro I’ve given up on. Broke itself twice for me. I much prefer Endeavour OS or Arco (shout-out to that excellent community)

Thank you for the detailed reply. I am not too bothered with PS and the rest working natively or with gpu acc (I don’t do advanced work) but I’ll save this for later

I’ve had instances where the system breaks,usually when I don’t update for a while. I don’t want to face that on my ‘stable’ machine

Always the high seas for me and corporations

I do use krita / gimp on my laptop for quick edits. I’m not a professional by any means, the time sunk into learning these in depth isn’t really worth it for me.

Will take a look at this as well.

I’ve found the package manager to be infuriatingly slow

I got a T490 (touchscreen) for around 27k. Prices here are a bit higher compared to other countries, hence you are getting advice on spending a set amount. It is absolutely worth the price considering the other new options at this price range are usually Chromebooks. The idea pad does not even compete in the same league as a thinkpad. Avoid the E series though. I’d say the i5 performs similarly to the i7 but is significantly better on battery, so it would be my pick.

Namida. It’s excellent and the only thing I wish it had was a bitrate display
