For me its especially the DE

OpenSUSE MicroOS is meant for servers and runs well on my VPS for 1-2 years already

I dont think it’s small, but small enough so that several of them fit on the 512GB SSD

Alternatively i can just download them on each device and have better load times?

At least the games i play are small enough (<150GB each). And i dont need more than few them, one is enough usually.

I actually would recommend it for that reason. It’s different from traditional desktops and polished at the same time, you dont need to fiddle with it. I think it’s good way to show people that alternative (to windows) doesnt mean bad.

It’s basically a read only mirror with links to the right place. That makes it easier to find or clone for many people

But is that really coupled to windows? Take office for example, i think it also runs on MacOS and browsers. Why wouldnt they be able to make a Linux Version?

Talented people working on Intel GPU drivers sounds great.

If you GNOME it has keybinds you can map to console commands built in

apparently btrfs can get corrupted if it unexpectedly loses power?

What do you mean by that?

Corruption on power loss is something that journaling should prevent and modern filesystems do that. So btrfs should be as safe as other modern filesystems.

Edit: Btrfs does no journaling, it implements resilience with another mechanism, namely Copy on write.

You said you tried Apps from F-Droid, still FossWallet in F-Droid works good for me.

If you have autologin on boot enabled you could try disabling it and then login manually on boot

That helped for me

I think since the beginning if plugged in for some time it decharges to 95% so you are probably fine. You can check the battery health in desktop mode.

I wonder isn’t there a step missing where the flatpak extension org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk21 is added to the specific vscodium flatpak? Or does it add all installed sdk files automatically to the apps environment?

GNOME because it works out of the box like GNOME

Following the post to the collabera post lead to this patch: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=91b98d5a6e8067c5226207487681a48f0d651e46

Weird, but good that you found out!

Are you sure the right partitions have enough space? On my tumbleweed the installer made several subvolumes i think

Alternatively you can configure a hotkey in the GNOME Settings, or the equivalent for other DEs, to execute a bash script or anything.
