Didn’t know about this. I’d still like QMK since I like having hardware level control, but this looks like something I’d use in conjunction with QMK. I should try setting it up this weekend. Thanks!

Technically you are able to to do with any live environment and backup data, so the answer would be “yes”.

Restic is my favorite, but you really would need to be familiar with the terminal, cron tasks, etc. to consider it a viable option.

Okay but the real question is does the keyboard use QMK? Mnt Reform has set the standard for open source laptops imo, if I can’t program my keyboard then that is a massive downside.

I unironically suggest you try installing Gentoo some time. You’ll be forced to learn a lot about how modern Linux works, and can even go with a non-systemd install if you want to learn a more “traditional” install.

That’s how you turn the boys and girls into proper Linux using men and women.

Even in European countries there are two dominant parties that work with others on their side of the aisle. In fact the concept of a left and right comes from France.

Polarization is universal in politics at the scales or democracy.

I feel many people are so privileged on both sides of politics that they have nothing better to do than to create their own problems.

Gnome devs have a nasty habit of “rethinking” things while ignoring tons of usability issues. I’d like them to stop rethinking things until they addressed those first…

Yes. Politically militant people are becoming more common. This time last month people seemed to have been much more agreeable even if they didn’t agree with you.

This is the most simple solution and probably a lot safer than the alternatives. Another good option would be to use OpenVPN.

Ext4 came out 20 years ago.

When you pick a file to upload or open from inside another application, the GTK/Gnome file picker does not allow you to have a thumbnail view of all the files. It is a meme in the Linux community at this point since there was a bug filed in 2004 asking for this feature, some even writing patches to make it work. Gnome devs refuse to change how the file picker works however.

Are they going to rethink putting thumbnails in the file selection dialog or many of their other insane decisions?

Gnome seems like they want to take the Apple approach to UI design without the attention to detail that Apple’s UX has.

Many people, including myself personally, have been telling people how much of a liar he is for at least 6 or 7 years at this point. Ever since the “hyperloop” nonsense got big.

Pleasantly surprised with SpaceX and Starlink delivering, but even those are plagued by Musk over promising in what is actually doable.

Buy a used Dell Latitude. They are business laptops that often get put up on eBay, so you can get them for $200-$750 depending on how old you’re willing to buy.

Yes, since you can run Android apps on them. They will be slower and have some quirks though I’m sure.

Linux phones are getting closer and closer to usability every day. I don’t care that they’ll always be less polished than iOS or Android, I want a Linux phone.

Tankies are the left’s version of internet nazis on the right.

Ultimately they aren’t a serious threat to anyone, even if their views are harmful and misguided.

If a program screws up and crashes while writing data to your drive, it can take out more than just the data it was dealing with. RAID will simply destroy data on both your drives at the same time, making any data recovery impossible.
