  • At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am.

    “Fun” fact: Outlook and Teams have a Scheduling assistant feature that makes that unnecessary. If a person wants to schedule a meeting with you, they don’t need access to your calendar to check availability. They just add you, pick a day, and it will suggest to them time slots you have open in your calendar for that day. There’s no longer a need to share an Outlook calendar with anyone just so they can know when you’re free to meet.



  • Why not split the difference and do both. Hdd for storage and SSD for services/containers. To help with the power load/performance hit I’d recommend using a usb to sata adapter that has external power. Overall though it sounds like a micro optipl x would be great for you. They’re cheap, more powerful, but still sip power, and usually can fit nvme and 2.5" drives together.















  • Funny enough, it dawned on me I’ve used Arch ARM for years but haven’t tried it on that laptop yet. Think I’m going to give it a shot when I get bored. But first my mission is hunting down a bug in fedora with my pinebooks wifi. I use it a lot more than my other laptops and tablets

    Edit: I installed arch and everything is working correctly from what I can tell so far 😂 idk what was up with pop, fedora, and Manjaro…



  • I haven’t given up on Linux. I have at least 5 Linux machines in the other room, including tablets, laptops, and servers.

    There’s a few Mac’s in the mix too, but those are workstations.

    Though I can sympathize with the complaints here in these comments. I brought a ryzen laptop home and installed a distribution on it. Sleep didn’t work. Tried 2 more distros, sleep still didn’t work. Now that laptop just sits there. My Chromebook gets more use than it. Having to shut it down and boot it back up every time wasn’t worth using it anymore when my pinebook pro does have the support you’d expect for functions you’d expect from a laptop.
