  • Yesterday I went and got a pcie nvme adapter (my two motherboard slots are taken up by windows+gaming drive). Added in a 2TB to the adapter and installed Garuda linux - based on Arch.

    So far it has been great. A couple little things popped up, like adding panels to the other two side monitors. But quick searches online and everything has been working very smoothly. I even put chrome on for work stuff so I don’t have to use the company-given laptop. – Side note, if anyone knows of a way to container that chrome install so work stuff is super separate, please share. –

    Like another comment mentioned, some games won’t work either because of anti-cheat that isn’t enabled for linux, or just not good proton support. But for the most part I can still play 90% of the games I normally do: DRG, CS2, Darktide, battlebit, etc. Hopefully the times I need to reboot into windows are rare, because this has been a great experience. Way better than years ago when I tried to make the switch but gaming support just wasn’t where I needed it.


  • I have the newer M9. Really nice size for reading books and comics. I got the folio cover as well so I’ll just walk around and watch movies/shows while doing chores. It’s definitely not a fast tablet, but isn’t terrible either. Browsing the web is fine, but it feels faster using my pixel 6a instead. Best part, it has a micro SD card slot. I’ve loaded it up with books, comics, shows, and movies. Going on airplanes is great with it.








  • As many have said, Google has a good set of USB - earbuds. I recently switched to a paid of Sony C100 Bluetooth buds and they work great.

    But the best USB-C earbuds I’ve used came from Essential (they made a phone years ago called the PH-1). The earbuds have amazing sound. The controls could be a lot better since it’s just one button - no volume rocker. If you constantly pull your phone out, the cord will get a bit tangled. But the sound… Whew I miss it. Also has a pretty universal earbud tip shape so you can replace with comply foam ear tips for comfort and noise reduction.

    This is the same format of “source” my buddy would show me when he rambled on about COVID conspiracies. Or flat earth stuff. His source was always someone putting random images and text snippets together instead of a legit news/research source. We no longer talk about stuff and stick to literally nothing controversial.
