Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.

Got any guides on how to strip plasma down to the bare necessities? I have it on a machine with 4 GB RAM, but I don't know how to optimize it for such old hardware.

Have you tried a low-code database, such as nocodb? I tried satisfy my need for structures data that way and it works for simple usecases. There are formulas too, but they (like spreadsheets) require some knowledge to set up.

I really don't want to own multiple machines and certainly don't want to lwn a clunky desktop. I was quite happy with Stadia, but need to look at external GPUs through oculink as that would provide me with the best of two worlds.

Currently, my gaming is very light with rather si lle graphics.

Track record.

This is a norm to be avoided. A phone without updates (at least security updates) should be avoided at all costs considering the potential consequences.

I settled on obsidian with the built in sync. The data is as clean as it gets - its very agnostic to the editor as long as it adheres to the markdown standard (plus flavors). I'm aware that I'm creating a dependency on obsidians workflow and plugins, but the cost of switching is very low considering how I use my knowledge base (I could in work case scenario work with my files with standard Unix tools).

You are free to choose whatever tool that works for you, personally I don't want my notes to be held hostage by a single vendor.

The closest to Anytype is logseq, but silver bullet.md is also awesome. And if you choose another markdown editor, you could use rsync/git/syncthing to synchronize your files.

When it comes to note applications, there is no shortage of them. Just make a informed decision that will serve you well in the long term.

I went with freshRSS and was happy to have a SH alternative, but the UI is abhorrent. Even with ReadYou as a 3rd party app the sync of what was read and not was janky. I went with miniflux and couldn't be happier. The again, my requirements are very basic.

If running linux, what command should be run? Shred isn't viable on a SSD, as it will only tear them down. Shred was designed with HDD in mind.

The meal planner feature have been a godsend for our household.

I'm running Ubuntu on an XPS and everything worked OOTB (except for IR-cameras) - even the nvidia drivers. Ubuntu has really good hardware support, but I wouldn't count on Dell being reliable on linux compatibility.

In my experience, ubuntu seems to support a few more wifi cards OOTB. And for me that is an essential feature - I don't want to deal with getting the network up without access to the internet. I still experience Fedora to be smoother as a desktop though.

Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:

  • it looks consistently on all platforms
  • it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys...encrypted!)
  • its opensource

Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.

Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won't bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.
