Yeah, and with mobile apps maturing I’ve actually seen people handle their whole business from an iPad. They had a consultant do the heavy lifting though so they just had to audit and send the pre-made invoices and payments in their iPad.

Could be an idea to make it easier to set a grub password during distro installation, that I can agree on.

Honestly I simply found the statement to give very little to discuss.
Regarding editing the Kernel command line; that would require that you already have access to your Debian install and have the rights to edit the Kernel command line.

Regarding your link in general I find myself at odds with development practices that removes my own agency. I can see how for many end-users it’s good, just like how most car owners shouldn’t try to fix their car troubles themselves, but I would start looking for another OS if it starts pulling auto-updating á la Windows.

• Most users don’t need SELinux and aren’t expecting anything more than firewalld. Those that do have the option to enable and configure it.
• New users are expected to keep using their distributions app store (Discover for KDE, Software for GNOME) not randomly run code in their terminal that they don’t understand.
• That’s quite a lot more choice than other OSes offer.
• What problems would that be? Grub works just fine for me.

Just something to consider as you’re thinking about using a virtual machine for windows; you have enough RAM to comfortably run a linux host with Windows 11 + Debian Stable VMs for work + work db server.
I’m allergic to mixing private stuff with work stuff and there’s a great thing to be able to shut work down at the end of the day. (Freeing up all your hardware for your private fun at the same time)

Pro of running an immutable distro is that it is much harder to break during daily use. The con is that you’re pretty much setup to only use flatpaks and some things like abraunegg’s onedrive aren’t available as a flatpak.

Have you considered making the Win10 Win11 VM a complete work jail? If you do all things work in there then you get a nice separation of private and work and won’t have to worry about work apps linux compatibility.
edit: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025

Kockums carbon steel pans are nice too. The wife likes that they aren’t as heavy as cast iron pans tend to be.

This is one of those things I think you can find locally in many EU countries, f.e.
https://www.skeppshult.com/en/3-all-products - Sweden
https://staubshop.com/staub-cast-iron-pan/ - France (German owner since 2008)
https://www.fiskars.com/en/cooking/product-families/norden - Finland (Scroll down to find the Cast Iron)

I second material files

Would an alternative be to simply edit the pdfs?

The german software FlexiPDF still allows you to buy a yearly version for a one off sum and allow you to use a free trial with watermark to check whether it works well enough for you before you buy.

Because I’m used to noscript, I’ve tried using uBlock in stricter than default settings but found it hard to get into their flag system.
I do not trust 1st party by default in noscript and am pleasantly surprised anytime a site works without js.

I’m probably slow enough to not notice, or maybe the site is already cached when I’m done with noscript.

uBlock Origin is the must have.
Personally I also use Dark Reader, NoScript, View Page Source and User-Agent Switcher.

I find that disabling the youtube app and run youtube.com in Firefox (or whatever fork you prefer, I’m using Fennec) with uBlock Origin active gives the best experience in Android.
edit: For the few times I browse reddit I use https://old.reddit.com/ in Fennec and have used the element picker in uBlock Origin to remove most of the page bloat.

Only one I’ve heard of is https://github.com/complexlogic/flex-launcher

Compatibility with Android usually means running DAVx⁵
https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/

A larger package than just CalDAV and CardDAV would be to look into Gromox with Grommunio-DAV.
It’s on my “I should check this out” list, so no personal experience.
https://github.com/grommunio/gromox
https://github.com/grommunio/grommunio-dav

They also have support for Exchange ActiveSync through another optional addon
https://github.com/grommunio/grommunio-sync

They will most definitely be cheaper than the 5090 though, and if 640GB/s is good then the AMD card could be interesting as it matches the 32GB. But then it falls down to software support and Nvidia gets a really good lead in usability again.

And Intels card is even further behind:

• Memory 24 GB GDDR6
• Graphics Memory Bandwidth 456 GB/s
