I have no personal experience, but I’ve heard rumors that hybrid architecture (performance cores + efficiency cores) doesn’t work well with linux.
That might be completely outdated or only relevant for Intel. But maybe it will help if you look into that in more detail.
I also recommend Zorin OS. It’s a bit easier to set up than debian.
ooh I didn’t know that, thanks
what do you mean?
I have an epson ecotank and use it on archlinux with the epson scan software via usb. I select a dir and it puts the scan result there.
I am just trying to illustrate why posting personal anecdotal evidence is useless.
Linux and it’s software is in a state where you can expect every user to have a vastly different experience and set of issues or the lack thereof.
The bugs I have right now have nothing to do with hardware.
Window rules just refuse to work no matter what (wayland)
A single GTK app stays in light mode, while all other GTK apps are dark. On my laptop, same OS, same settings, same apps, (I dd the ssd) the app is dark…
I’m on a rolling distro so newest updates always.
I experience lots of bugs that only a handful of people share and the majority has never seen. And they are different from OPs.
Not selfhost but I use Hibiscus https://www.willuhn.de/products/hibiscus/
borgbackup has great versioning, reduplication and compression
Doing it the way a person would requires the file manager to understand context, which requires a lot more logic for arguably little benefit.
I’m so glad KDE Dolphin has a “natutal sorting” option. Not sure about this specific case, but I have never been surprised by the order with that setting.
Would be interesting to check the code behind it.
Not even Microsoft has a Windows distro without a terminal.
afaik Linus is against GPLv3 in his Linux project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKIZ7gJlRU
hyperbola
they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don’t package certain things. Example:
pam
Package has different security-issues and is not oriented on the way of technical emancipation as Hyperbola is trying to adapt lightweight implementations.

My IDE can do that for me. And it was able to do that pre AI boom. Yes, the code ends up more verbose, but I just collapse it.
So from a modern dev UX perspective, this shouldn’t be a major difference.
There is probably no out of the box solution, but if you want to give it a go and hack it together, this combination might work (or it might not, I don’t think anybody tried yet)

the window rules one really fucks me up.
It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.
Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.
GPT4All is a nice and easy start.
For many games, the loading times are not thaaaat different when comparing HDD vs SSD vs NVME. (Depends on how impatient you are tbh.) And it barely affects FPS.
The biggest appeal of NVME/SSD for me is having a snappy OS.
So I would put your rarely played games on a cheap, big HDD and keep your OS and a couple of the most frequent games on the NVME. (In the Steam interface you can easily move the games to a new drive)
I find it to be a much simpler solution than setting up a multi tiered storage system.
