Plasma has such a good tiling window manager now as well, with one of the most low resource draw frameworks powering it. But it isn’t cool and hip I guess!

At mine it was not. Hotspots and the like that stayed up for too long were flagged and action was taken to have them disabled and the student reprimanded.

Nope! Plasma has a nice settings page dedicated to to this power related configuration, so you click exactly what you want to happen and forget about it. I configured plasma to work almost identically to gnome with the overview and gestures and it is so snappy. Still hope that the gnome devs work out a way to make these options more accessible, but even if they added those there’s no way I’d switch back now!

It may seem silly but I switched to KDE plasma becaus of this feature. In my humble opinion as a sysadmin, a modern desktop PC in 2024 should not need the user to query config values for power settings!

Isn’t this just freecad?

Nope thats exactly how it works, gives you an entry in grub for the prior image.

Statement I was looking for!

Nice foss alternative to obsidian is Logseq. Not completely feature for feature, but still very cool and powerful. I use it daily.

You would not be able to accomplish this without an inverter setup. The only way those little powerbank things work is because those panels barely charge the bank, and the charging happens at a trickle rate that doesn’t harm the cells with current variation.TLDR the power bank is just normal battery cells, the panels are just a bit gimmicky.

Gonna back this up as well, never had an issue for 5 concurrent releases

Check out distrobox. Allows you to run any distro in a container and use the apps on your system like they are native.
