Some of the installs can be a little weird, but I've never had anything that I couldn't get running. Vscode has an install for tumbleweed https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

The major "issue" is the package names are different between Debian and tumbleweed, so if you're installing software from github that isn't directly provided by suse/appimage/flatpak then a lot of times you'll need to install the dependencies manually by finding the corresponding packages (since most github repositories have directions for Debian/Ubuntu and not suse)

Or you could just use distrobox

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.

Seems like nextcloud is the weak link, can you access them another way? Through a network share?

They have a lot of products, including other fans and thermostats. I've had their media cabinet fans running 24/7 for 4-5 years now with no problems. Highly recommend it.

Otherwise you could use something like this and a standard 12v power adapter https://www.tindie.com/products/mmm999/dc-12v-four-wire-thermostat-pwm-pc-cpu-fan/

I have no complaints with the framework keyboard, is there a particular issue you're concerned about? The track pad is almost apple quality. Certainly better than most laptops I've used.

I was looking into this last night, what's the current Dev status of termux? I saw the last release is from 2022 and there's a call for more maintaiers.

So you're planning to reuse the same hardware that the firewall is running on now, by installing a hypervisor and then only running opnsense in that?

Admittedly, I haven't done too much of that, but it might still be more stable than needing to reinstall your OS every 2-3 weeks?

The slightly heavier line weight and slight rounding definitely make a huge difference

Same experience here

I'm not unfortunately. I had to fix a coworkers thinkpad t14 gen 3. The motherboard failed. Then the replacement was throwing fan errors for no reason, finally went away when I updated the bios. Now its going back to lenovo because there are graphics artifacts on the screen during normal use. It being made out of slightly better plastic doesn't mean anything, they cheaped out on everything.

Ah right, that one. Thanks!
