I had a great time. I studied electrical engineering and my department had moved from using Matlab to Python which made my life a lot easier. There was one class where we had to use a Matlab library but I was able to use Octave with the library. There weren’t any other programs we had to install there weren’t compatible with Linux. A lot of classes just required a web browser, no additional software, so no issues there.

There’s an option for a tented middle layer but it’s definitely a little jank. https://docs.keeb.io/tenting-bolts-setup

I’m a fan of the keebio Iris keyboard. They have a prebuilt version and you can disconnect the right side.

I use a Belkin RT3200 (same hardware as Linksys E8450). They go for pretty cheap on ebay and I have no complaints.

I do the same. I have Debian with KDE and Kodi autostart on boot. Use Kodi most of the time but can tab out if needed.

It’s a subscription service. It’s designed to pay creators better than YouTube.

Turns out I’m dumb and didn’t realize that Arch hadn’t updated the package yet. As long as you have the env variable WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1, it works pretty well.

Not great. Still having a lot of issues with flickering. Guess this is what I get for buying Nvidia.

Time to see if Nvidia works with Qtile Wayland. Got a lot of flickering and visual bugs with pywlroots 0.15.

I’ve used Free Tax USA in the past, but I wouldn’t say they’re trustworthy. They’re still part of the free file alliance and actively lobby against the IRS creating their own free tool without any restrictions.

I’ve tried proxmox! Don’t currently have any hardware to run it but excited to do it. Part of the reason I don’t want to put it on the mini PC is that I can’t connect 3.5" drives over sata. I want to use the PC I plan on building as a combo server/NAS.

I am planning on a lot of services, but we’ll see about the rack of servers.

No, off the shelf routers are usually ARM and opnsense is x86 only.

There’s support coming for wifi 6 Qualcomm Atheros chips. The images are still in the snapshot/release candidate stage, so not a full release yet, but they are working.
