A couple things to check using a quick bash script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/
echo "Charge cycles: $(cat cycle_count)"
printf '%s\0' 'Health: ' &
bc <<< "scale=3; ($(cat charge_full) / $(cat charge_full_design)) * 100"

That should print out the wear cycles the battery has endured and its reported capacity over design capacity. If your battery has less than 1000 cycles and the health reported from the battery is less than 80%, it might be best to contact Framework for warranty replacement as the battery is likely defective.

Just note that with Bambu printers about past data collection practices and their in general mid to atrocious after-sales support. If this doesn't deter you, then go ahead and get one.

I do a lot of my functional parts in ABS, ASA though printing such material may be difficult on an open-air machine. The two obvious choices will generally be PLA or PETG. PLA is one of the most common printed materials, and is fairly balanced in material strength. PETG parts are more likely to permanently deform heavily before fully snapping, as well as they have a but more temperature resistance than PLA. Additionally most PETG plastics hold up decently well to UV, often making them more suitable for parts that need to be outdoors.

PLA takes not much consideration on surface to print, as most printers come with a smooth PEI build sheet by default. It will however need more cooling than printing with PETG at equivalent speeds. If you use a PEI sheet for PETG, make sure it is textured. You will destroy a smooth sheet if it doesn't have some kind of release coating to lower its adhesive properties to PETG.

There is no guarantee for spools of filament to actually arrive dry, so a filament dryer isn't a bad idea. I don't have any particular recommendations for a good filament dryer. I have a Filadryer S2 from Sunlu, but am not impressed by it.

For multi-monitor: use Wayland. For 2.5Gbps Ethernet NICs, they never work properly on any system in regard to performance, but I presume you are referencing the subpar Realtek NICs not connecting? Depending on the distro, you likely won't have the driver and/or firmware package preinstalled to make it work.

As I understand it, this driver isn't ready for personal use unless you don't care about the contents of your btrfs partitions mounted on Windows.

I know ArchLinuxArm (a fork of the ArchLinux project) supports the Hisense C11. It does seem to be a fairly involved procesd, and (potentially?) requires using external media rather than the onboard eMMC storage to boot a Linux system.

Your particular Chromebook contains the same SoC (Rockchip RK3288) as an Asus C201, which Debian has an install guide for. Once again, a fairly involved process and this one may not be guaranteed to work if the C11 has some quirks not present in the C201.

Just took a couple minutes to install and setup the fork to try it out. Turns out there is a flatpak on Flathub under the id dog.unix.cantata.Cantata that looks to be maintained directly by nullobsi. I'll have to see where rough edges show up, but this fork looks good thus far. A full port from Qt5 -> Qt6 isn't a trivial amount of effort, so mad respect to everyone working on this ported version.

It was indeed carrier locked, which was why I used it as trade-in value for a phone rather just selling it and later buying a newer phone.

In my case, AT&T sent me a Galaxy Note 9 to replace my Google Pixel XL, which I ended up never using and just used a trade-in value to get a Pixel 5a.

The easiest ways to run custom executables for Proton titles is either going to be SteamTinkerLaunch or my shim script.

The potential common cause points toward the GPU drivers (note of games in Proton, libgtk4 segfaults, and libnvidia-glcore segfaults). What nvidia driver version is in use. A quick search found a rough match to shown symptoms, but is recent and matches the hardware (NVidia Polaris desktop). Perhaps the driver version in use exhibits a similar showing of a regression for such GPUs?

The question that I have to ask: what category of CLI apps (or even some examples) exist that are too complex to maintain a few versions simultaneously as native packages but are not complex enough to just use an OCI container for them instead?

Godot maintains a fairly comprehensive documentation that can even be fully downloaded.
