On my Microsoft Surface laptop I had a horrible experience with sleep and wake on close and open with windows. More than half the time it wouldn't wake up on its own and I would have to either have an external keyboard or just turn it off. Currently that same laptop is running opensuse tumbleweed and wake and sleep on close and open works about 85 percent of the time. It isn't perfect still but it's way better than windows was.

They should have gone with a common design for all the logos. I main tumbleweed and I think this is dumb and confusing to potential newcomers to openSUSE's distros.

Mobilism has been a go to for me. Someone recommended it here a while back. Its far from perfect but I only grab an audio book maybe a few times a year so it works for me.

I purchased pocketcasts years ago when it was a one time fee and when they moved to a subscription model they gave everyone who purchased a lifetime pass on the subscription model but that rubbed me so wrong I moved away from it. Currently I run Audiobookshelf on my server and have all my podcasts in a library on there. Works really well and I have control over it.

I use a GPU but that's only because my CPU is a first gen ryzen with no graphics. I highly recommend any recent Intel CPU that supports quick sync. You'll have an easier time and pull way less power. i7 might even be a bit much honestly I'd look at i3's or even celerons. They're easily capable of what you want but you can always get something better just for future use.

This is easily my new favorite pvp game.

There's a docker container that I run on my server.

That's the container I use. It's good enough imo.

I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.

I'll say that I've run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I've stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.

Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.

I share with my wife and just got the family plan. It's overkill probably but it makes it simpler and I don't have to think about 2 separate subscriptions.

I usually have 30+ tabs grouped around in chrome. I got a lot going on and it helps keep my ADHD in check when I'm trying to work on something.

I've tried firefox in the past. Back and forth I go when google does something dumb but I always go back. This time I think I'll deal with the stuff I don't like for now, or maybe make extensions to fill the voids that I miss desperately.
