What’s a thin client?
Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour, Manjaro, or plain arch.
Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let’s you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.
But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he’s very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois
I use cloud flare tunnel for my home server too. Are there any viable and somewhat easy alternatives?
Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.
This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I’ll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.
Wait what did I miss? I thought Fetterman was supposed to be one of the good ones

Manjaro is a distro I’ve given up on. Broke itself twice for me. I much prefer Endeavour OS or Arco (shout-out to that excellent community)
I’ve had instances where the system breaks,usually when I don’t update for a while. I don’t want to face that on my ‘stable’ machine
Severe inconsistent quality issues in both software and hardware, treating their customers as beta testers, random motherboards dying, etc.
They are still riding the ‘flagship killer’ wave, but they are just as overpriced as Samsung, while offering unfinished products.
Wouldn’t recommend Oneplus anymore.
At the high end, Samsung has been pretty solid with their S lineup. The FE models are a good compromise as well. Pixels are a hit or miss, I’d recommend waiting for issues to surface before deciding on the 8/8 pro.
On the more budget - midrange side of things, Motorola has been doing a fairly solid job. They do have a lot of models, so some youtube videos should give you a fair idea on what’s right for you.
Oh damn. It was at auto, which I assumed was 100% (the lowest value)
I set it to 100 manually and it looks a lot better, thanks!
The UI is horrendously large on my 14 inch 1080p display too
A good general rule of thumb is to avoid the E and L series, and stick with the X, T or P series, or the X1 Carbons. Depending on your use case, choose one with the processor and display you want.
I have a T460 with linux on it that I use for work and it has been rock solid even when I spilled coffee on it.
I’m losing it in the hospital corridor lmao
…no
Honestly straight arch was more stable for me. I barely knew anything about the AUR back then, I didn’t break it installing or tweaking anything. I just customised KDE a bit. I didn’t even have a dedicated GPU - I was using Intel integrated
Manjaro. It just breaks itself randomly, and performs poorly. Endeavour / ARCO Linux are more stable
