I’m surprised about the satisfactory reference, that game never ran particularly well for me once I was a ways in with lots of stuff built up.

It has a huge impact for me, most notably unreal engine because of how poorly most games made with it run, and it visually looking very soft or blurry in some games. So it’s something I check before looking at buying a game.

If you have a need for high levels of privacy it’s the only way to do it, or just leave your phone at home.

It doesn’t really defeat the purpose of having a mobile phone either IMO, most stuff I do on my phone is already offline (maps, notes, taking photos, etc).

I’d just check their website: https://librewolf.net/installation/linux/

Would need to disable the cell radios, wifi and bluetooth too since those are also used to track device location.

In that case another degoogled ROM sounds more like what you’re after?

Graphenes thing is hardware security.

Yeah a voltage regulator would be a bad idea, however a well designed DC-DC buck converter can be in the 95%+ efficiency range and produce very little heat.

The Pi can actually be higher in some cases in my experience.

I have a pair of passively cooled PCs with i3-7100u CPUs, RAM, and a single NVMe drive each, and they draw around 1-2W when idle.

Digikey has the official espressif dev boards, if you want decent quality ones.

The Pixel phones were the only devices with secure enough hardware to make GrapheneOS viable, that’s why they developed it for them.

It wasn’t because of some deal with google or anything like that.

That’s awfully optimistic lol

Yeah.

Yes too up to date can be a downside for most, I want stability and just want my OS to be there and do its thing with a monthly or so update I run.

Ubuntu is not great due to Canonicals choices. However I do wonder if they have more enterprise/business install base.

Not open source is an absolute no for me.

I use zram only with no swap on the SSD for my laptop/desktop.

For my server it has zram too but with extra low priority swap on the SSD just in case zram gets full up.

Hibernate isn’t something I’ve really ever used, my laptop uses very little power in sleep mode.

Mostly just quick notes in Obsidian, if I do anything complex or ‘unusual’ to set something up I’ll save the history that I ran.

Fedora w/ KDE always just feels like home to me, I like the defaults so I don’t spend much time mucking around, and it feels stable and reliable.

For now at least, google will likely remove that option in the future.

Proxmox has a UI for ZFS. But you don’t really need it, ZFS is kind of set and forget and setting it up is quite easy via CLI.
