Oh man the extension for merging nodes is going to be fantastic. A few weeks ago I was using inkscape to clean up some dxf drawings I exported from some CAD models. Each line segment was just overlapping and not actually connected. I had to come up with some convoluted work flow to select and merge the nodes manually. Super excited that this exists now

I had no idea that (open)SUSE was so security minded in their packaging. It makes sense in retrospec. It sucks they didn't catch this earlier, but this response makes me happy to use tumbleweed

I'd recommend the sengled ZigBee bulbs. They're cheap, reliable, and have good colors. Ive been using many for years without issue.

The IKEA bulbs will also work. I've tried them in the past, but didn't like them. I found they were too dim at full brightness. Also, their colors are much much worse then the sengled bulbs, especially the "greens" (I say this in quotes because the best the IKEA bulbs can do is a pitiful color that's 85% yellow and 15% green).

I'll second tumbleweed. I use it on 4 separate devices and its rarely given me any issues. If it does, it has built-in recovery snapshots - it takes 30 seconds to roll back a bad update.

They did it. Those crazy bastards actually did it

Oh this looks very useful for organizing datasheets and dev references, will definitely give this a shot. Thanks and nice work!

New thinkpads are trash unfortunately. Lenovo really cheaped out on their build quality. I've had to fix multiple lenovo laptops and one of their all-in-ones and the corners they cut made the repairs either impossible or extremely difficult.

One new ideapad had to go back to them twice with motherboard issues.

Replacing the keyboard is impossible, you need to replace the whole front panel of the case becuase the keyboard is plastic rivited in place.

The all-in-one started as a simple ram and storage upgrade, but in order to do that the whole back panel needs to come off. Its snapped on but the LCD panel itself doesn't have any subframe around it, so when opening the back panel theres a very high chance of you cracking the display.

As others have said, nvidia will work but you're better off with amd for the GPU. CPU brand doesn't really matter.

If you're duel booting, I definitely recommend two separate drives, one for each OS. Use the bios boot selector to boot between the two. It makes things much much easier if they're not sharing a drive

But we know based on OPs usage requirements, he's not one of those people doing everything in the browser.

Updates are important regardless of fomo. They're not only for adding new features, they're for fixing bugs and improving stability and these changes rarely get backported unless their critical.

The core Debian might be stable, but, for example, plasma 6.3 is much more stable than 5.27

Debian is stable and will work, but there are other options that are basically as stable and have much newer packages - improving desktop stability and user experience
