TuxedoOS because my so-called “Linux-Laptop” turned out to not run mainline Linux very smoothly. But I hate that fact that it’s Ubuntu-based.

I’d use Debian, Arch or dabble with Void if I could on my laptop, my servers run Debian or Alma.

I would recommed to use redundant storage, such as a RAID 1 (or 5 or 6, if you want a more advanced setup). This way your data doesn’t die with your SSD.

I must say I’m not 100% happy with my InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 9 AMD. The build quality has very much improved since the Gen 7 (which I daily-drove before), but it feels like Tuxedo’s take on “Linux Laptop” is rather something like “Tuxedo-OS Laptop”. On Fedora I had to tweak kernel params so my laptop doesn’t wake up from sleep on its own and do the same to resolve an audio issue, and my RJ45 port just simply doesn’t work even with their drivers.

And something inside the device makes a quiet but annoying beep-like noise when the fans don’t spin.

Apart from that I love the device, but if you plan to use your own distro of choice and really want a high-quality build I’d not really recommend it.

I recently had to use a friend’s old 4gb macbook for some weeks because my laptop was stolen. I was surprised how well everything worked, even when using a few web apps in firefox. I think with using zram and avoiding web / electron apps where possible, you might get quite something out of a 4gb machine.

Just recently jumped ship from Revolut to Wise, because the former does not support de-googled android anymore. I love the fact that Wise can be fully managed through the web app.

Did you configure port forwarding properly? Otherwise it might be that leechers can’t contact you.

That’s a good point.

How on earth does this reach a 75% approval rate?

I apologize for being rude, but these are bold claims with no sources whatsoever. I mean I can understand that it might be frustrating to be called paranoid over using Tor, and there certainly use cases or threat models where it makes sense to use Tor. But this post is either a full-on conspiracy theory or carefully crafted troll content.

IIRC there is a plugin for Caddy that can do what you are looking for.
