There are many USB ZigBee and zwave adapters that work well with home assistant

The success of KDE depends on maintaining and attracting new developers. C++ is decreasing in popularity, with less people becoming willimg to learn it overtime. Adding more modern languages to the mix that are more pleasant to write with will help keep KDE popular with devs.

"The cause is a new SATA specification which includes the ability to disable power to the hard disk. When you look at the SATA power connection on the back of your hard drive, there are 15 pins that make contact with your power supply. It's the third pin that delivers a 3.3V signal that disables the drive. What we need to do is prevent that third pin from making contact with the power cable."

Some hotswap harddrive bays use this feature, definitely more common in enterprise scenarios or in USB HDD enclosures.

Proxmox has a virtual monitor in its web interface, so you can access the desktop of a virtual machine that way. It's a little clunky but works ok for quick configuration. Alternately you could remote desktop into the virtual machine.

Quicksync is a little more tricky. GPU pass through is a pain, and I'm not sure off the top of my head about that. You can Google "proxmox quicksync passthrough" and see if any solutions will work for you. There's a chance that all you would need to do is set the processor type correctly in the virtual machine settings, but I'm not sure.

I've used kubuntu and neon in the past. The issue I ran into was kubuntu not having the latest KDE software, and it wasn't available in back ports. I tried switching to neon but it's based on the LTS version of Ubuntu so the kernel was pretty old, it didn't have great support for my hardware.

I switched to tumbleweed and have been loving it since.

SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to alternative source code.

Sounds like they're spinning this off to a separate legal entity which won't be profit driven. I'm not saying don't be cautious, but it looks like they're taking appropriate steps to work with the community.

It sounds like talking to a therapist about this would help you out. I hope you find closure.
