That’s good advice, however this dorm is not part of my uni (just a partner to provide housing) and the internet provider whose T&C I’m expected to accept and sign up for 1y of are a totally separate legal entity, that has a bunch of upsells for stuff like “connect more than 1 device” (which my router/AP would basically be bypassing, and I think that’s what these clauses are about). About the interference, is it possible to limit it severely while still having a reliable connection just within my room? I only really want to connect:
- Laptop (wired)
- Phone
- VR for streaming from laptop
Looks great! Do you often use TTY login over a graphical display manager?
Honestly I saw btrfs in the arch install guide and read about it because I thought the name sounded funny. I used it until I distro hopped to NixOS couldn’t figure out how to install it with btrfs, so I’m back on ext4.
Maybe I’ll give it another try next hop, which is likely soon since Qt theming seems impossible on Nix. :/
I was going to read this post, but I saw an AI image.
A good 90% I’d say. All my devices run Linux (NixOS laptop, Ubuntu server, LineageOS phone).
Non-FOSS stuff:
- AMD GPU in my Framework 16 laptop means the only unfree package on my laptop is Steam.
- The proprietary apps I do run on my phone are TooGoodToGo and my bank as I’m not aware of alternatives.
- I wear a Pebble Time Steel smartwatch, also not aware of any alternatives.
- PS5 controller firmware has no replacement.
I don’t browse the surface web a lot and when I do I tend to disable JS, so I avoid most of the nonfree JS. I have no social media accounts besides Mastodon, Matrix, and Lemmy, which are all free :)
As an extension, all my close family runs Linux on their computers, as it ended up being lower maintenance than setting them up with Windows when time came to upgrade.
