I know your pain! (Cries in Nvidia laptop) when i bought mine i literally couldn't find a laptop with AMD graphics in my region.
There is some hope these days. In addition to the previously mentioned Frameworks laptop, there's also this TUXEDO Sirius 16 - Gen1. (Tuxedo is a German company specializing in Linux-compatible computers). It might not be exactly what your looking for, but AMD graphics laptops are so few and far between I thought I should put it out there.
I third Proxmix
I run most stuff as Docker images inside a VM, but also a few services as LXC containers and some non-docker stuff in other VMs
+2 for KDE Connect, the integration is amazing. I've used it on KDE and Gnome (gsconnect), all works very well
2nd for Kobo! It's a good device, supports more standards, and doesn't fund any of the Too Big Tech Giants
+1 for SSH and FileZilla (or WinSCP)
Didn't the French try that after the revolution?
Working well with version control is such a killer feature!
Certain platforms (not necessarily in the EDA space) like to make 5000 line diff after just opening a project and thinking about changing a comment
The AI arms race has begun!
Isn't this kinda thing happening already in the recruitment industry?
Genuine question: Is that good or bad? What kind of farmers? Food or tulips? Humans gotta eat, and I thought Netherlands produces a lot of Europe's agricultural output
To quote the great philosopher Homer Simpson: "Money can be used to buy goods and services"
So depends what kind of simple you want. Money does solve many problems.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised
You might want to look up SMR vs CMR, and why it matters for NASes. The gist is that cheaper drives are SMR, which work fine mostly, but can time out during certain operations, like a ZFS rebuild after a drive failure.
Sorry don't remember the details, just the conclusion that's it's safer to stay away from SMR for any kind of software RAID
EDIT: also, there was the SMR scandal a few years ago where WD quietly changed their bigger volume WD Red ("NAS") drives to SMR without mentioning it anywhere in the speccs. Obviously a lot of people were not happy to find that their "NAS" branded hard drives were made with a technology that was not suitable for NAS workload. From memory i think it was discovered when someone investigated why their ZFS rebuild kept failing on their new drive.
