I had a great time. I studied electrical engineering and my department had moved from using Matlab to Python which made my life a lot easier. There was one class where we had to use a Matlab library but I was able to use Octave with the library. There weren't any other programs we had to install there weren't compatible with Linux. A lot of classes just required a web browser, no additional software, so no issues there.

I'm a fan of qtile. Used it when it was x11 only and use it on Wayland now.

There's an option for a tented middle layer but it's definitely a little jank. https://docs.keeb.io/tenting-bolts-setup

I'm a fan of the keebio Iris keyboard. They have a prebuilt version and you can disconnect the right side.

I use a Belkin RT3200 (same hardware as Linksys E8450). They go for pretty cheap on ebay and I have no complaints.

I do the same. I have Debian with KDE and Kodi autostart on boot. Use Kodi most of the time but can tab out if needed.

It's a subscription service. It's designed to pay creators better than YouTube.

Turns out I’m dumb and didn’t realize that Arch hadn’t updated the package yet. As long as you have the env variable WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1, it works pretty well.

Not great. Still having a lot of issues with flickering. Guess this is what I get for buying Nvidia.

Time to see if Nvidia works with Qtile Wayland. Got a lot of flickering and visual bugs with pywlroots 0.15.

I've used Free Tax USA in the past, but I wouldn't say they're trustworthy. They're still part of the free file alliance and actively lobby against the IRS creating their own free tool without any restrictions.

I've tried proxmox! Don't currently have any hardware to run it but excited to do it. Part of the reason I don't want to put it on the mini PC is that I can't connect 3.5" drives over sata. I want to use the PC I plan on building as a combo server/NAS.
I am planning on a lot of services, but we'll see about the rack of servers.
Recently started my little homelab. The hardware consists of: Comcast modem in bridge mode (I use this because it means unlimited data is $10 instead of $30) TP-Link TL-SG116E - cheap 16 port managed switch I bought off ebay Dell Wyse 5070 extended with an Intel T350 4-port NIC running on opnsense Belkin RT3200 running openwrt running as an access point Have already messed around with setting up opnsense (Adguard Home, Zerotier), and going to keep playing with it. I've thought about installing proxmox on the mini PC, connecting an external USB hard drive, and running it as a server and router, but that seems a little jank. Planning on getting some more parts to throw together a small server. You can't really see it in the picture but the cables are still a little messy.

No, off the shelf routers are usually ARM and opnsense is x86 only.

There's support coming for wifi 6 Qualcomm Atheros chips. The images are still in the snapshot/release candidate stage, so not a full release yet, but they are working.

Vlemmy has gone dark, so I made a new account. Would you be able to re-add me as a mod?

I'm a big fan of my OLKB kit. Hotswap, very solid case, and QMK compatible (which is a big deal for 40% boards), but the kit is a little expensive.
I don't have one personally but the YMDK kit on AliExpress seems like a good option and is cheaper. Just know that it will take a month or two to ship from China if you're in the US.
