No thanks

I would imagine you could run into an issue like this building off an M1 or newer Mac and deploying to a Linux based env. We've run into a bit of an adjustment with our docker image builds where we need to set the buildarch or else it fails to deploy.

Our build times aren't blazingly fast, typically around 4 minutes for npm/yarn build for frontend apps and loading the data to the image and any other extras like composer installs. Best time saving for us was doing a base image for all the dependency junk that we do a nightly on

WPEngine has been trash for a few years now but this felt like a weird way to handle it, I don't love that they gobbled up ACF and DeliciousBrains and slowly began enshittifying their products which do feel almost necessary to core

My brother needed the driver installed in debian on Qubes but has been flawless beyond that. When I was still running arch it just worked out of the box

I did this with Qubes a year ago and haven't had any issues apart from figuring out the right flags to get the full performance, otherwise the GPU would cap around 30% under load with low CPU load.

Kind of at the mercy of what your motherboard and bios will allow, mine I had to cheese a little and disable the PCI device on boot so I get to decrypt my disk with no screen lol but it works!

Not op but I do a lot of architecture and infrastructure work on top of my normal dev work so keeping everything separated and per-client has become a pretty important advantage for me personally

Fwiw I had to tinker a bit to get good video playback, Fedora was always choppy for me for some reason but debian is typically smooth with hw accel disabled.

As for the gaming, depending on your setup (I have a desktop and T480 I keep in sync) you can absolutely run two video cards and do PCI passthrough on one to a gaming VM. I have mine set up with a dedicated NIC and USB card and just use a KVM to swap between Qubes and Windows (for now) and it's worked really well. Had to play around a ton to get the full speed out of the GPU though and it only seemed to work in windows so hopefully get that going for a Linux hvm one day.

Absolutely agree there is no going back, I have all of my work stuff entirely hardware agnostic and a full on replica of my work desktop ready to go in a moment should the desktop die. Apart from that keeping client work isolated has been such a game changer.

Fwiw I used to daily an x210 and then an x230 in IT and pretty frequently typed with one hand while carrying with another without the weight bugging me but your mileage may vary.

You can definitely send them flying and not damage them my coworker launched theirs across the office and the bezel just snapped back together.

I have a T480 now since I do more dev work and needed a slightly bigger keyboard/screen and it's phenomenal with Qubes and 48gb of memory on the quad core i5. Love the ease to repair I just swapped a motherboard on it in around 30 minutes and was back up and running

This is pretty great advice to get into it. I previously ran 3 poweredge 2950s but have since switched to nothing self hosted and back to everything self hosted but on a much leaner setup with a NUC and 14tb WD my book drive with a dual Noctua 4020 fan shroud I 3d printed that it absolutely needed as I killed the original drive in two weeks.

My replica is just a 14tb in my desktop I run rsync to pull the data occasionally after checking SMART status on the primary. It's not versioned or perfect but it works great to give me a chance to backup my jellyfin media. Everything I care about also gets backed up via restic.

Eventually plan to run a build with the Modcase MASS with multiple drives but for now this setup has been working fantastic.

I just use nextcloud as a target for backups (Aegis, Signal, QkSMS). Apps such as KeePassDX I have load the file via nextcloud. My contacts and calendar go through it as well, photos are just set to auto upload along with a few other directories.

As for the home screen layouts, I just take screenshots once I have it how I like and try to remember to take them again if I change stuff.

It's not a full backup but I'm back up and running fairly quickly (Pixel 5A died on me 3 times in under a one year lifespan per device).

They used to dominate the consumer market prior to Ryzen so might have something to do with it but I got no evidence lol

I don't own Prusas but I migrated from super slicer to prusaslicer and being able to cut models and add locating pegs easily is such a game changer for larger parts
