  • As others have said, nvidia will work but you're better off with amd for the GPU. CPU brand doesn't really matter.

    If you're duel booting, I definitely recommend two separate drives, one for each OS. Use the bios boot selector to boot between the two. It makes things much much easier if they're not sharing a drive

  • But we know based on OPs usage requirements, he's not one of those people doing everything in the browser.

    Updates are important regardless of fomo. They're not only for adding new features, they're for fixing bugs and improving stability and these changes rarely get backported unless their critical.

    The core Debian might be stable, but, for example, plasma 6.3 is much more stable than 5.27

    Debian is stable and will work, but there are other options that are basically as stable and have much newer packages - improving desktop stability and user experience

  • Debian 12.9 was released a few months ago based on kernel 6.1 LTS, the latest kernel is 6.13, with 6.12 being the new LTS.

    Debian packages are updated for bug fixes and security updates, but they generally don't update to new versions.

    If you're running KDE Debian, your version is plasma 5.27, meanwhile 6.3 was just released.

    There are a massive amount of quality of life improvements that debain 12 stable will never get. Sure you can backport some, but then it's not really debain stable is it?

    Meanwhile there are plenty of other distros that are almost just as stable, but have newer versions of everything. Not to mention the stability improvements of the newer software (one example is plasma 6.3 is a massive improvement over 5.27)

    Like I said, I love Debian, but if you're doing daily driving of the computer, I think there are better alternatives

  • I had to have my scanner scan to a windows VM that saves it to a network drive for paperless to injest. Its not my favorite solution but at least I don't have to manually move the files around

  • Have you looked at tumbleweed? Its a rolling release so its always up to date but opensuse's testing is fantastic. It's very stable and on the off chance there's a regression that impacts usability, it has built in version snapshots. It takes literally 45 seconds to roll back to a previous working version.

  • I keep seeing people recommending Debian. Its a great OS, especially for server stuff (which I use in multiple VMs in my home lab), but I wouldn't recommend it on a computer you're actively using. They take so long to update packages you're always multiple versions behind. This really makes it difficult to get bug fixes and patches for software that you're using on a daily basis. The hardware support is never as good as other options.

  • Photons don't have mass, but they do have momentum.

  • +1 for tumbleweed. Swapped to it from Ubuntu a few years back and it's been great. Up-to-date everything, very stable, built in recovery just in case the last update had some regressions. Highly recommend

  • On the professional front, I can tell you that unifying the keys to mgmt interfaces to critical infrastructure in a single app is not a welcome tool to see on my junior admin desktops

    As opposed to having them spread out? Across multiple apps?

    I would have my doubts about a junior admin who hasn't developed a personal strategy to manage this themselves.

    What about using a single app to organize their connection methods to various VMs and containers?

  • It's an easy way to manage multiple servers/vms remotely. It makes transferring files to remote headless systems easy and simplifies remembering multiple hosts. It's akin to moba xterm, a similar windows only project

  • Opensuse Tumbleweed is great, I've been daily driving it for ages on 3+ devices. It's a rolling release and has all the latest packages, but is extremely stable. It has a built in recovery tool called snapper that allows you to roll back to a previous state before an update on the off chance you get a bad one. Ive only had to use it a few times over the years but it's been great to have.

    Really underrated distro imo

  • The Dev stated he's been working on it for 10 years and says its time to move on

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

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

  • Super awesome. The android bit is particularly interesting

  • You'll also likely need a few torx bits

  • 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.
